Subsequent observations suggest that the apparent contraction may be due to shell activity in the star's extended atmosphere.

In a paper published in 2012, the Berkeley team reported that their measurements were "dominated by the behavior of cool, optically thick material above the stellar photosphere," indicating that the apparent expansion and contraction may be due to activity in the star's outer shells and not the photosphere itself.

N. sativa seed extract had a concentration-dependent relaxant effect on this contraction which may be due to the effects on VDCCs in the VSMCs.

This phenomenon of multistage contraction and expansion may be due to the support ring built around the 3-D printed material, which holds the perpendicular layers in place, beginning to absorb and displace energy acting as a multistage spring.

The faster wound contraction by BME may be due to stimulation of interleukin-8, an inflammatory α-chemokine which affects the function and recruitment of various inflammatory cells, fibroblasts and keratinocytes, and may increase the gap junctional intracellular communication in fibroblasts, and induces a more rapid maturation of granulation tissue [ 31].

In their 2012 study, physicists at the Space Sciences Laboratory point out that the apparent contraction in the star's diameter may be due to the complex dynamics in the star's surrounding nebula and not the star itself, reconfirming that until we better understand the nature of mass loss, predicting the timing of a supernova will remain a challenge.
