New skin research could help slow signs of ageing | BBC News
Researchers have made a scientific discovery that could be used to slow the signs of ageing.
The Human Cell Atlas project has discovered how the human body creates skin from a stem cell, and even reproduced small amounts of skin in a lab.
As well as combatting ageing, the findings could also be used to produce artificial skin for transplantation and prevent scarring.

*Keep the sun off your face*, drink plenty of fluid, use some sort of lightweight emmolient, it doesn’t even have to be expensive, just to stop skin drying.
Interesting. Unfortunately the report doesn’t give much details about the study.
I love science!
The sun
We have to realize that we are in the dawn of a new age as chemistry and biology and the discoveries of life bring us closer to unlocking the greatest mystery of them all: aging. What has fascinated me for a long time is Professor Jim Tour’s analysis of the simple cell. A cell has Lipids, which form the membranes of the cell, inner and outer. It has 19 Amino acids and 1 other form of acid, it has carbohydrates (sugars), it has nucleic acids (RNA & DNA). Professor Tour said that since 1952 when serious study began about the cell, very little progress has been made. The outer membrane has 10 to the 78 billion possibilities and only one combination will work. This is 10 with 78 billion zeroes after it! If only one combination will work, then how in the world did that just happen in a prebiotic pond eons ago? The carbohydrates on the outer membrane are more complex than the RNA & DNA combined. When a product is needed from one part of the cell to another, it builds a monorail system and sends the product to the other part of the cell and then the monorail dissolves. Boys and girls, the simplest cell is so complex that after more than 50 years, they still cannot understand how it works. Professor Tour said, even if they gave someone the lipids, amino acids, nucleic acids and carbohydrates and put them in the right order, it still would not work because no one knows how the cell becomes ‘alive. I am paraphrasing and excuse me Jim, if I have got one or two things wrong. To recap: we are on the cusp of keeping us young forever; this will mean a change in the human community beyond anything anyone can imagine. What keeps me up at night is wondering what is the spark that suddenly makes innate material come alive? How could a cell have become alive?
It might be used for burn victims. So interesting they can identify which genes are doing what. I like the fairy lights.
For real anti aging, they would also need to rejuvenate bone, collagen and fat, but its a start.
Beautiful skin but failing organs?
So nothing new then….
BS… exciting only for the scientists making money with the research
Because all you races are in competition with the Mother of all creation, embrace your wrinkles and stop with the obsession with anti wrinkle. , Botox etc
Great I love these medical breakthroughs, I doubt we will see anything come of it though every year we hear about some medical breakthrough to never hear about it again just like that scientist who reversed aging in a mouse and the mouse was able to see better but then never heard anything again.
Trust me,healthy lifestyle and diet is >>>>>>>>>>>> skincare products.
What, exactly, was the takeaway?
Thanks
There’s a clock of sorts in the genes that ticks away as we age. It signals when changes such as wrinkles are to occur as well as deterioration of critical body parts.
Getting rid of wrinkles is not anti-ageing. What’s happening inside of the body.
top and bottom eyeliner is always a no no
I’ll bet this will only be available to the wealthy. So the rich will live on and on, and the poor will die young
5. 500 million layers of dust and dirt and hell in my place, has not been cleaned out since beginning of 2023, by mom
there should be more focus on ovarian rejuvenation
To defy aging, one needs to add simulated artificial content related to longetivity?
Yeah, just like all the "new treatments" for baldness. This thing won’t do a thing, I guarantee it. If you care about aging, Sun screen is 1#. Besides that, It’s possible to delay aging and reverse a LOT just through Microneedling. No procedure that I have done in my life was as helpful as the high-quality derma pen I got for around 100$
Artificial skin for artificial people. Great!
Ye could have gotten someonr under the age of 55 to present this
Top tip… Never wear jeans on your arms !!
All the plastic surgeon must be worried and the sellers of botox/ fillers.
We first need to address how a bioengineered stem cell is being created, because we aren’t going to be able to ethically extract stem cells from people and supply them in products. Then, we need to test the bioengineered stem cell for skin care efficacy, and *then* you can send word out that you’ve made a discovery.
secondopinionfromai AI fixes this. Skin research may slow ageing.
The wealthy will look fabulous at 120 and the rest of us will be dead at 50 due to low grade food and the inability to afford health care. It’s a dystopian future.
People somehow think I’m 16 17 at 30 I’m even denied entry into bars because they don’t think I’m of age vividly remember my 30th birthday I was denied entry because the boucer didn’t believe me
The answer:
"chemicals"
Stupit people.. Just use tretinoin 0.1%
Black/Asian Skin holds the answer
Skin is good but what about bones and joints
We dont need it, Sell real diet and Nutrients, Ho No money to be made in Healthy foods
Do not sunbathe.
Why? Vain!
Presenter needs this
Aging is normal. Gloryfing eternal youth is toxic!
Exercise is the most evidence based anti aging and disease prevention strategy. So why is this not prescribed before drugs by the health care industry? Because it is not profitable and requires effort and discomfort in an ever growing comfort orientated society.
I hope they make a sunscreen vaccine.
Whoever solves the hair loss problem will become unimaginably wealthy.
Africans seem to be aging slower than other races,…
I’m delighted I’m nearly dead anyway. I don’t want to see where this research will end up.
