It is defined as the first defense against the environment because of its...

We tend to think that the skin ages with the passage of time. But did you know that some factors are more important to skin aging than just timing or genetics? The genome is only responsible for 25% of diseases or aging processes. This explains why two genetically identical twins can age drastically differently if they lead different lifestyles and are not exposed to...

The most significant factors that affect cutaneous wound healing are oxygenation, infection, age and sex hormones, stress, diabetes, obesity, medications, alcoholism, smoking, and nutrition. Oxidative stress reflects an imbalance between the systemic manifestation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a biological system's ability to repair the resulting damage. It causes strand breaks in DNA.  In humans, oxidative stress is thought to be involved in...
