Clearing Damaged Mitochondria to Fight Skin Photoaging

Researchers publishing in Aging Cell have found that a cocktail of molecules released by human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) can mitigate sun-induced skin aging (photoaging) in mice by restoring their cells’ ability to get rid of their own damaged mitochondria…
