“These findings suggest that specific skin bacteria can influence the immune system's response to ultraviolet radiation by degrading key photoproducts. The study investigators theorized that incorporating urocanase enzymes into sunscreen products may help maintain the skin's immunoprotective role.”

“The skin cells were reprogrammed to form neural stem cells that deliver common cancer treatments to glioblastomas in mice. Mouse tumors injected directly with the reprogrammed stem cells shrank 20- to 50-fold in 24–28 days compared with nontreated mice. In addition, the survival times of treated rodents nearly doubled.”

“However, a recent study found that these alternatives readily penetrate the skin, potentially increasing the health risks associated with PFAS exposure. Researchers designed a three-dimensional model that mimicked the qualities of human skin.”

“A 2021 study in mice found that sulforaphane, a bioactive compound derived from broccoli, mitigates age-related skin changes by activating Nrf2, a protein that participates in the body's antioxidant defense system.”

“Collagen, the main structural protein of many of the body's connective tissues, comprising more than 80 percent of the skin's dry weight. This review presents an overview of the scientific data supporting oral collagen supplementation to ameliorate the effects of skin aging.”

“FTA: > Bacteria that metabolize ammonia, a major component of sweat, may improve skin health and some day could be used for the treatment of skin disorders, such as acne or chronic wounds. Human volunteers using the bacteria reported better skin condition and appearance compared with a placebo control group.”

“Bisphenol A bioaccumulates primarily in adipose tissue in humans, but some evidence indicates that it is excreted via sweat and, to a lesser degree, urine. Sauna bathing may serve as means to facilitate BPA excretion via the skin to eliminate this toxicant from the human body.”

“Conversely, the compound promotes the activity of procollagen, a precursor to collagen and a critical player in skin integrity. Studies in insects demonstrate that berberine extends lifespan and healthspan.”

“Indoor tanning has long been linked to melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, but the biological pathways connecting tanning bed exposure to melanoma are not fully defined.”

“Researchers have developed a device that can switch cell function to rescue failing body functions with a single touch. The technology, known as Tissue Nanotransfection (TNT), injects genetic code into skin cells, turning those skin cells into other types of cells required for treating diseased conditions.”
