APOSEC for Rosacea Research

[Guide]

"APOSEC is a substance obtained from white blood corpuscles." [1] It is a biologic drug in clinical trials used in heart attacks, strokes, spinal cord injuries and for healing wounds. A paper suggests that APOSEC may help treat contact dermatitis. [2] APOSEC has shown to "induce angiogenesis, vasodilation, exert anti-microbial effects, inhibit thrombus formation, enhance the release of neurotrophic factors, and much more". [3] Watch this white board animation that explains APOSEC:

Since APOSEC may inhibit inflammation [2], who would sponsor any research related to rosacea on this? Could 10K members of the RRDi each donate a dollar to offer a clinician a motive to investigate this subject?

APOSEC is listed as one of the Biologic Treatments for Rosacea. 

What is APOSEC? 
Answer:
"Secretome of Apoptotic Peripheral Blood Cells (APOSEC)" [4]

Would you like to sponsor research into this independently as a group of rosacea patient advocates in solidarity?  If we could gather 10K members into the RRDi and we all agreed to sponsor research into APOSEC for rosacea and each member donated one US$ dollar we could offer this to a clinician to investigate. At the very least, can you find the reply button in this post and comment on this subject?
