Aims & Topics

Aims of Skin Challenges 2017

Among the hot topics which will be discussed in Porto: skin ageing mechanisms, mitochondria, Nrf2 modulation, gut and skin microbiota inter-talk, smell and olfactory receptors, exposomes and others…
 

 Aims of Skin Challenges 2017 are to:

  • Draft the state of the art in skin ageing
  • Present the different mechanisms involved in homeostasis and skin aging but also to address the different tracks and pathways (signaling, transcription factors…) involved in this process
  • Highlight the recent innovations in skin ageing and photo ageing
  • Presenting the new notion of exposome and skin aging
    • What are the internal and external factors that we can qualify as exposome?
    • What is the response of the body and the skin barrier to these internal and external factors?
    • What is the current state of knowledge about the interaction of distinct exposomal factors with each other and what is the resulting effect on skin aging?
    • How to determine the influence of these exposomes on skin aging?
    • Which kind of protective measures should be considered to limit cutaneous aging?
  • What is the strategic role of skin olfactory receptors and smell?
    • How to explain the regeneration and cicatrisation by olfacory receptors activation?
    • What is the impact of smell on skin ageing?
  • Discuss the role of microbiota and skin microbiota
    • What is the role of gut microbiota and skin microbiota on skin ageing?
    • What is the importance of quality and diversity of microbiota on skin barrier?
    • What are the factors (pre/probiotics, bacteria…) able to influence the skin microbiota ?
