Title: Cellular Wellness & Longevity: Protecting the Mitochondrial Network using Biotechnology
Presenter: Melissa Bergman
Company: Solabia USA
Skin aging and its visible signs, such as wrinkles, dark spots, and dull complexion, result from disruptions in key biological processes. As the conversation in beauty shifts from reversing visible signs of aging toward promoting skin longevity, there is increasing emphasis on supporting these biological functions and protecting the cells against environmental stressors.
The hallmarks of aging provide an array of possible targets for protecting and supporting cellular functioning, including the mitochondrial network. The mitochondrial network of the cell is the system responsible for energy production as well as a key player in regulating stress responses and maintaining homeostasis. While mitochondrial health is not a brand new target for cosmetic active ingredients, updated understandings of mitochondrial dynamics and cellular functioning provide new perspectives into how an active ingredient can support the well-being of the cell and ultimately, its longevity.
To demonstrate the connection between mitoc
