Artificial human skin paves the way to new skin cancer therapy
In a new study, researchers have managed to curb skin cancer. The study was conducted on artificial human skin. By using artificial human skin, a research group from the University of Copenhagen have managed to block invasive growth in a skin cancer model. The study has been published in Science Signaling and looks at what…
Revealing Fundamental Molecular Mechanisms of Aging and Lifespan Extension
Despite centuries of medical research, pivotal questions about aging persist. A recent study by German scientists, published in Nature, suggests breakthrough insights into these questions. Researchers from the University of Cologne and Max Plank Institute for Biology of Aging, revealed an age-related acceleration in gene transcription coupled with reduced precision and increased errors. They reported…
Sun Exposure Impact on Skin Microbiota Composition in Holidaymakers
The skin microbiota plays a crucial role in maintaining epidermal homeostasis. Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and other environmental challenges can impact the skin microbiota through direct and indirect mechanisms. In their study, Abigail K. Langton from the University of Manchester and her team, aimed to investigate the effects of sun exposure on the skin microbiota and…
Commensal Staphylococcus epidermidis contributes to skin barrier homeostasis
Previously either regarded as insignificant or feared as potential sources of infection, the bacteria living on our skin are increasingly recognized for their role in benefitting human health. Skin commensals modulate mucosal immune defenses and directly interfere with pathogens; however, their contribution to the skin’s physical integrity is less understood. In their study, published in…
Unlocking the Potential of Hydrogen Sulfide as a Healthy Ageing Therapeutic When Specifically Targeted Within Cells
Future therapies to help people live healthy lives for longer could be developed from drugs that release tiny amounts of the gas hydrogen sulfide (H2S), new research has indicated. A study from the University of Exeter, funded by the US Army and charity The United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation, found that targeting tiny amounts of H2S…
The Mars-500 Mission: Does Space Travel Slow Down The Aging Process?
Scientists have recently observed for the first time that, on an epigenetic level, astronauts age more slowly during long-term simulated space travel than they would have if their feet had been planted on Planet Earth. “Many of us assume that being exposed to radiation or other harm in space would be reflected by increased aging.…
