Researchers from Beiersdorf AG, Research and Development Hamburg in Germany, used a microphysiological co-culture system—a lab-based model simulating human circulation—to test the effects of young versus old blood serum on skin cells.

Aging is a complex process that significantly contributes to age-related diseases and poses significant challenges for effective interventions, with few holistic anti-aging approaches successfully reversing its signs.
Imagine a simple topical treatment that could help aging skin heal faster, reducing recovery time from wounds and even improving skin quality. Scientists may have found exactly that. A recent study, published in Aging, reveals that a compound called ABT-263 can eliminate aging cells in the skin, boosting its ability to regenerate.
In this study, researchers reinforce knowledge about an age-related alteration in the synthesis of major proteins linked to the migratory and contractile functions of dermal human fibroblasts.
