Aging of Human Epidermis: Reversal of Aging Changes Correlates With Reversal of Keratinocyte Fas Expression and Apoptosis
1 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
The goal of this study was to determine the role of Fas-mediated apoptosis in human epidermal aging. Epidermal Fas expression and apoptosis are increased in aged human skin. Aging changes of human epidermis, including decreased epidermal thickness and proliferation, are reversed following grafting of human skin to SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency) mice. Skin from aged participants (n = 14; mean 70.7 years),...
