Researchers led by Drs. Guiomar Solanas and Salvador Aznar Benitah at IRB Barcelona, in collaboration with Dr. Holger Heyn’s group at CNAG, have discovered the central role played by IL-17 in skin ageing. The findings, published in Nature Aging, reveal that blocking IL-17 can delay age-related skin deterioration, thus opening new avenues for skin health therapies.
The team's research highlights the involvement of IL-17 in various ageing-related functions, offering potential benefits for therapeutic intervention and recovery enhancement after surgery. This work emphasises the significance of this protein beyond its known functions and points to broader implications for ageing research.
