Conference explores advanced approaches to skin rejuvenation

The Skin Aging and Challenges 2024 conference, organized on November 5 and 6 at Corinthia Palace Malta, will bring together leading scientists and researchers to explore the latest developments in skin health, anti-aging and cellular rejuvenation. Central themes include cellular aging, mitochondrial function, the influence of microbiota and iron regulation, each with significant implications for slowing or reversing skin aging.

A major highlight is the exploration of exosomes, small extracellular vesicles emerging as potential carriers of regenerative compounds, offering promising opportunities for skin rejuvenation. Experts will discuss how exosomes can help deliver targeted treatments to reverse cellular aging and improve skin elasticity and repair.

Furthermore, groundbreaking research on olfactory receptors, typically known for their role in odor detection, reveals their unexpected functions in skin health. These receptors appear to influence cell behavior, opening new therapeutic routes for skin regeneration and anti-aging treatments.

The conference will also explore mitochondrial health as a critical factor in skin aging. Known as the powerhouse of the cell, mitochondria play a central role in cellular function and energy production, directly impacting the skin’s vitality and longevity. Researchers will present new approaches to support mitochondrial function, with the aim of slowing or even reversing skin aging.

The role of microbiota in skin health will also be a key focus. Recent studies show that a balanced microbiome can improve skin resilience and reduce inflammation, providing a holistic approach to skin care and anti-aging.

This conference promises to reshape our understanding of skin aging and provides a platform for innovative solutions in dermatology, bridging science with advanced anti-aging prevention and treatments.
