In vitro Human Cell Culture Models for Studying Oxidative Stress and Skin Aging
Ageing is an inescapable process that causes a steady functional impairment in the large majority of organisms. Changes in the looks of skin, which becomes thin, less supple, wrinkled, and far less able to accomplish its defensive role, are one of the most visible indicators of ageing in people. Skin ageing is a multi-faceted phenomenon, and experts are still trying to figure out all of the intricate connections that occur. We do know, however, that it is influenced by both inherent (intrinsic) and external (extrinsic) variables. Intrinsic wrinkles are characterized by skin shrinkage, an enhanced predominance of the vasculature, decreased elasticity, and fine wrinkles, and are mostly genetically driven. Extrinsic causes comprise Exposure to UV radiation and pollution, which cause intense wrinkles, rough texture, and pigmentation anomalies. A mismatch of pro-and anti-oxidants causes oxidative stress, which promotes quicker skin ageing, inflammation, and disease. Currently, r...
