Extrinsic and intrinsic factors contribute to skin aging; nonetheless, they are intertwined. Moreover, intrinsic skin aging mirrors age-related declines in the entire human body's internal organs. There is evidence that skin appearance is an indicator of the general health of somebody or a visual certificate of health. Earlier, it was apparent that the intrinsic factors are unalterable, but the sparkling of skin aging gene therapy on the horizon is changing this narrative. Skin aging gene therapy offers tools for skin rejuvenation, natural beauty restoration, and therapy for diseases affecting the entire skin. However, skin aging gene therapy is an arduous and sophisticated task relying on precise interim stimulation of telomerase to extend telomeres and wend back the biological clock in the hopes to find the fountain of youth, while preserving cells innate biological features. Finding the hidden fountain of youth will be a remarkable discovery for promoting aesthetics medicine, genecosmetics, and healthy aging. Caloric restriction offers ultimate health benefits and a reproducible way to promote longevity in mammals, while delaying age-related diseases. Moreover, exercise further enhances these health benefits. This article highlights the potential of skin aging gene therapy and foretells the emerging dawn of the genecosmetics era.
外在和内在因素都会导致皮肤衰老;然而,它们是相互交织的。此外,内在的皮肤衰老反映了人体内部器官与年龄相关的衰退。有证据表明,皮肤状况是一个人整体健康的指标,或者是健康状况的直观证明。过去,人们显然认为内在因素是不可改变的,但皮肤衰老基因疗法的出现正在改变这种说法。皮肤衰老基因疗法为皮肤年轻化、自然美容修复以及治疗影响整个皮肤的疾病提供了工具。然而,皮肤衰老基因疗法是一项艰巨而复杂的任务,需要精确地间歇性刺激端粒酶来延长端粒,并希望能倒转生物钟,找到青春之泉,同时保持细胞固有的生物学特征。找到隐藏的青春之泉将是促进美容医学、基因美容和健康衰老的一项重大发现。限制热量摄入能为哺乳动物提供最佳的健康益处,并能重复地延长寿命,同时延缓与年龄相关的疾病。此外,运动还能进一步增强这些健康益处。本文重点介绍了皮肤衰老基因疗法的潜力,并预测了基因美容时代即将到来的曙光。
