Potential of aging-targeting treatments for xeroderma pigmentosum

Updated

Abstract

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is an inherited condition caused by mutations affecting nucleotide excision repair.

  • XP patients show increased sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
  • This hypersensitivity leads to faster skin aging.
  • XP requires lifelong sun avoidance to manage symptoms.
  • The investigation focused on UV-induced cellular aging in XP melanocytes.
  • Potential strategies to counteract cellular aging were explored.
