Natural protein instability as ageing biomarker
The CNRS team is exploring an innovative approach towards measuring the impact of the exposome on skin ageing. Specialists in spontaneous degradation of proteins due to chemical reactions that alter their structure and function, the researchers wish to demonstrate that this phenomenon could serve as a precise indicator in assessing the environmental effects on skin. Identifying specific proteins like new ageing biomarkers could open the way to improved prevention and appropriate cosmetic solutions.
