Dealing with the effects of aging is not the last place in modern medical practice. The rapidly evolving science of gerontology, which studies the aging process and prolonging life. And, according to the publication of Scientific Reports, a group of American scientists recently managed to find a tool that slows skin aging. And they were long known science stuff.
Researchers from the USA have discovered an unusual property to slow the aging process of the skin by the well-known dye called “methylene blue”. In the course of their research, the scientists conducted a series of experiments was taken skin cells the three categories of people: the healthy middle-aged people, elderly people aged 80 years and younger with a specific disease that causes accelerated aging. When exposed to methylene blue in the skin samples of subjects were observed to increase the duration of life of fibroblasts, the wound healing by improving the synthesis of collagen and elastin.
In addition, during a series of experiments revealed that methylene blue has no lasting effects on the skin and temporary effects have ceased shortly after the end of the experiment. If you are afraid of the word “blue” in the title, then you shouldn’t worry, apply the dye in small concentration does not lead to staining of the skin in blue. Experts also hope that the modification of the dye, changing its concentration and to use it in combination with other substances will help in the future to create a drug that will have a long and good effect in the fight against aging skin.
