Molecular Mechanisms of Photoaging in Human Skin <i>In Vivo</i> and Their Prevention by All‐Trans Retinoic Acid
1999-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Abstract— Solar UV radiation damages human skin, affecting skin tone and resiliency and leading to premature aging (photoaging), the symptoms of which include leathery texture, wrinkles, mottled pigmentation, laxity and sallowness. We propose that photoaging results largely from UV induction of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) that degrade skin collagen. We find that pretreatment of human skin with all‐ trans retin...
