When nutrients run low, hair follicle stem cells can stop making hair and help repair the skin instead. A drop in the amino ...

VC is known for its antioxidant properties in the skin and has been previously shown to boost collagen synthesis. Now, the same team of researchers has taken this a step further, using advanced ...

In skin, some aberrant adult epidermal stem cells turn on SOX9, kickstarting a process that ultimately activates cancer genes. Early on, every stem cell faces a fateful choice. During skin development ...

A vitamin commonly found in fresh fruits and vegetables could help slow one of the visible signs of aging: thinning skin. A new study has found that nourishment with vitamin C boosts epidermal ...

BUFFALO, NY- May 17, 2022 – A new research paper was published on the cover of Aging (Aging-US) Volume 14, Issue 9, entitled, “Single-cell transcriptomics reveals age-resistant maintenance of cell ...

The skin acts as the body's first line of defense against external threats. However, as we age, the epidermis—the outermost layer of skin—gradually becomes thinner and loses its protective strength.

Researchers have shown for the first time that hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells where it binds oxygen, is also present in the epidermis, our skin's outermost body tissue. The study, ...

Perhaps best known as a immune-system boost or antidote to scurvy, vitamin C has been found to rejuvenate aging skin by reactivating genes responsible for cell growth. By promoting DNA demethylation, ...

Early on, every stem cell faces a fateful choice. During skin development, for instance, the embryonic epidermis begins as a single layer of epidermal progenitor cells. Their choice is to become a ...

The leaf outer epidermal cell wall acts as a barrier against pathogen attack and desiccation, and as such is covered by a cuticle, composed of waxes and the polymer cutin. Cutin monomers are formed by ...
