About this Research Topic
Skin aging, a complex biological process, is primarily influenced by a myriad of factors, including genetic, hormonal, metabolic, and environmental factors. The rates of skin aging, which vary significantly among individuals, are largely dictated by these intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Notably, genetic factors, accounting for 60% of cases, play a pivotal role, overshadowing the relatively minor contribution of environmental factors. Genes encoding factors crucial for maintaining skin elasticity, hydration, and pigmentation, such as elastin, filaggrin, and melanocortin 1 receptor, respectively, emerge as key determinants for intrinsic or extrinsic skin aging.
Genetic tying resulted in a vast and profitable business for anti-aging products. Individuals age differently, and ethnic differences account for a significant proportion of this variability. Studies about genetic variance in skin aging are scarce, but they provide information into the genetic pathways of the process, sometimes with conflicting or unexpected actors. We discuss some of these studies and their genetic or mechanistic discoveries in the context of their phenotypic contributions. This Research Topic aims to review and compile genes associated with aging in various models and propose pathways based on their functions that can shed light on the genetics of its process in skin aging. We also update the recent discoveries involving genetic factors associated with different aspects of the aging process with an emphasis on personalized aesthetic protocols and clinical applications.
Understanding the role of genetics in skin aging processes is of the utmost importance. It necessitates a strong correlation between genetics (OMICS) and bioinformatics, with significant implications for clinical practice. Genetic variations are substantial in aging and how regenerative treatments are approached individually.
Genetic and skin aging research advancements have unearthed new factors linked to facial maturation, opening exciting possibilities for personalized cosmetic and anti-aging treatments.
We welcome submissions of the following article types: Brief Research Report, Data Report, General Commentary, Hypothesis & Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Review, Systematic Review, Technology and Code.
