People suffering from acne, slower aging
People are making a lot of efforts in order to cope with acne - in the course are and cosmetics, and medicines. However, for those who suffer from acne, there is good news. Scientists from (King's College London) King's College London found that people who suffered acne adolescence, live longer than those who did not have any problems with the skin. In addition, as an adult, they look younger than their peers.
Simon Ribeiro (Simone Ribero) explained that scientists have previously found that the skin of people suffering from acne, aging more slowly than those who do not have such problems, they appeared much later wrinkles.
The new study involved 1,205 pairs of female twins, a quarter of whom had acne. The authors found that those who suffered from acne, the telomeres in leukocytes were longer. Telomeres are located at the ends of chromosomes. With age, they become shorter. It is assumed that people with longer telomeres age slower than those who have them shortened. Recently it became known that aging attempted to stop via gene therapy. CEO BioViva underwent a course of gene therapy, by which managed to slow down the telomere shortening - whether it helped to stop aging is unclear.
Scientists have discovered one of the genes that controlled and telomere length, and acne. They have shown that people suffering from acne, has reduced activity of P53-signaling pathway that runs in the process of apoptosis. As a result of apoptosis, i.e. programmed cell death, and telomere shortening occurs.
