La Mer’s lead scientist, Jaime Emmetsberger, recently presented her latest findings on the complex relationship between the skin’s sensory neurons and the regulation of neurocutaneous inflammatory signals through endocannabinoid pathways. Emmetsberger is a neuroscientist and fellow at The Estee Lauder Companies.

These new findings help to provide a greater understanding of the communication between the skin and sensory neurons, as well as how the body naturally responds to inflammation.

The research was presented at Neuroscience 2024 in Chicago, which took place October 5–9, 2024.

Emmetsberger’s research highlights the role sensory neurons play in cutaneous inflammation by releasing neuropeptides and cytokines, which can influence the skin’s stress response.
