Researchers have discovered a cocktail of micro-RNA strands that make some extracellular vesicles (EVs) effective in reducing cellular senescence and published their findings in Aging Cell. A new approach to senescence Why We Age: Cellular SenescenceAs your body ages, more of your cells become senescent. Senescent cells do not divide or support the tissues of...

A recent study featured in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology has analyzed the impact of a topical product containing OS-01. This is a senotherapeutic peptide that targets senescence, affecting the skin's barrier function and multiple aging biomarkers [1]. Conducted by a team from OneSkin alongside academic partners, this initial trial aimed to determine if skin...
