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, ...

Retinoic acid, the active state of Vitamin A, appears to regulate how stem cells enter and exit a transient state central to their role in wound repair. Retinoic acid, the active state of Vitamin A, ...

A potential breakthrough in the treatment of type 1 mediated chronic inflammatory skin diseases (ISD) has emerged, as researchers have identified receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 ...

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 ...
