“Skin cells from a patient with Parkison's disease were transformed into stem cells that formed dopaminergic progenitor cells. These dopamine-producing cells were transplanted into the patient's brain which resulted in stabilized or improved symptoms 18-24 months later.”

“Studies on human cells are next. The significance of being able to turn a skin cell into a neuron is the potential replacement of damaged or dead neurons found in neurodegenerative disorders and other brain injuries.”

“Activation of this receptor triggers a calcium-dependent signal pathway which ensures an increased proliferation and a quicker migration of skin cells – processes which typically facilitate wound healing.”

“Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure – from the sun or tanning beds – causes premature skin aging, a process called photoaging. But a new study in mice found that supplemental collagen, which is rich in the glycine-proline dipeptide, protects against the damaging effects of UV light exposure.”

“This is a breakthrough because old methods of turning skin cells into neurons used viruses that are known to cause cancer.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses joint aging prevention, avoiding heavy metals in protein, reducing migraines, nicotinamide for skin, and minimizing jet lag.

“These neural stem cells were formed from the skin cells of an 86 year old man!”

“While some evidence indicates that some magnesium absorption occurs via the skin, the extent and clinical relevance of such absorption are still under investigation. Despite anecdotal claims about Epsom salts' benefits for muscle cramps and skin health, robust scientific proof is limited.”

“Topics include hair regrowth in androgenic alopecia, pain reduction in rheumatoid arthritis with notable results but occasional study design concerns and conflicts of interest, muscle endurance, post-exercise muscle recovery, wound healing, and skin wrinkling.”

“People with atopic dermatitis have small quantities of certain beneficial bacteria on their skin. These bacteria were cultured to expand the bacterial numbers and made into a lotion that led to a greater than a 90% decrease in Staph aureus in all five patients.”
