Using a Yeast Protein Extract to Activate SIRT6 and Improve Skin Aging by Targeting Key Aging Processes

Updated

Abstract

Activation of sirtuins may protect skin cells from the effects of photoaging.

  • Photoaging and chronological aging are associated with changes in cellular function, including telomere shortening.
  • Accumulation of senescent skin cells is a significant factor in the decline of skin integrity and function.
  • Sirtuins are identified as key regulators of cellular functioning and homeostasis in skin.
  • Targeting sirtuins could offer a potential strategy to mitigate the impacts of aging on skin cells.
