Skin Challenges 2018, for future vision & trends of how can the current research delay the side effects of ageing and skin-ageing?
Hot topics will be discussed: skin ageing mechanisms, mitochondria, Nrf2 modulation, gut and skin microbiota inter-talk, smell and olfactory receptors, exposomes and others…
Aims of Skin Challenges 2018 are to:
– Draft the state of the art in skin ageing
– Present the different mechanisms involved in homeostasis and skin aging but also to address the different tracks and pathways (signaling, transcription factors…) involved in this process
– Highlight the recent innovations in skin ageing and photo ageing
– Presenting the new notion of exposome and skin aging
– What are the internal and external factors that we can qualify as exposome?
– What is the response of the body and the skin barrier to these internal and external factors?
– What is the current state of knowledge about the interaction of distinct exposomal factors with each other and what is the resulting effect on skin aging?
– How to determine the influence of these exposomes on skin aging?
– Which kind of protective measures should be considered to limit cutaneous aging?
– What is the strategic role of skin olfactory receptors and smell
– How to explain the regeneration and cicatrisation by olfacory receptors activation?
– What is the impact of smell on skin ageing?
– What is the impact of smell on skin ageing?
– Discuss the role of microbiota and skin microbiota
– What is the role of gut microbiota and skin microbiota on skin ageing?
– What is the importance of quality and diversity of microbiota on skin barrier?
– What are the factors (pre/probiotics, bacteria…) able to influence the skin microbiota?
