Abstract

Human skin ageing is closely related to the ageing of the whole organism, and it's a continuous multisided process that is influenced not only by genetic and physiological factors but also by the cumulative impact of environmental factors. Currently, there is a scientific community need for developing skin models representing ageing processes to (i) enhance understanding on the mechanisms of ageing, (ii) discover new drugs for the treatment of age-related diseases, and (iii) develop effective dermo-cosmetics. Bioengineers worldwide are trying to reproduce skin ageing in the laboratory aiming to better comprehend and mitigate the senescence process. This review provides details on the main ageing molecular mechanisms and procedures to obtain in vitro aged skin models.
