Mitochondria-Targeted Hydrogen Sulfide Delivery Molecules Against Photoaging

Mitochondria-Targeted Hydrogen Sulfide Delivery Molecules Against Photoaging

News Release, Skin Aging & Challenges – August 8, 2022 Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction play a role in the process of skin photoaging via activation of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) and the subsequent degradation of collagen. The activation of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor controlling antioxidant and cytoprotective defense systems, might…

Skin Cells Made Up To 40 Years Younger with New “Rejuvenation” Technique

Skin Cells Made Up To 40 Years Younger with New “Rejuvenation” Technique

Aging is the gradual decline in cell and tissue function over time. It is characterized by various factors, including telomere attrition, genetic instability, and misfolded proteins. The progression of some age-related changes can be measured and used to predict age in humans. Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) reprogramming is a process in which any cell can be converted into an…

Fungal Skin Microbiota is Discovered in Healthy Subjects

Fungal Skin Microbiota is Discovered in Healthy Subjects

News Release, Skin Aging & Challenges – June 29, 2022 Beneficial microorganisms on the skin contribute to the first line of defense against attacking pathogens. However, instability of the skin microbiota is associated with skin diseases. Hence, temporal analyses are crucial because they serve as a baseline to understand the development of dysbiosis in disease. A recent…
