The research arm of LVMH is collaborating with the Centre for iPS Cell Research and Application of Kyoto University (CiRA) to study the mechanism of skin metabolism for Parfums Christian Dior.
The aim of the joint project is to explore how oxidative metabolism aects skin keratinocyte self-renewal or dierentiation capabilities.
“The eects of age on mitochondrial status, skin regeneration and dierentiation will be investigated with the hope of contributing to major therapeutic discoveries in the skin and cutaneous rejuvenation,” said CiRA in a press statement.
Under the direction of Nobel Prize laureate Shinya Yamanaka, CiRA is a leading centre for induced pluripotent stem cell research.
According to CiRA, iPS cells are cells generated by introducing a small number of factors into body cells such as skin cells and blood cells.
What makes iPS cells unique is that they can be converted into any type of cell in the body and proliferate indenitely in culture
Dior aims to leverage on the centre’s stem cell expertise to develop ways of regenerating skin cells and maintain youthful skin.
