Cellular Regulation: The Science Behind Healthy and Youthful Skin

Dr. Rani Malvi, Dr. Manali Padhye

Abstract: Regulating cell function to optimize skin health and outward appearance is complex, particularly in cases of cellular senescence or cumulative damage. Two primary intervention strategies demonstrate the most effective outcomes: (1) supplying skin cells with essential structural and functional nutrients through oral nutrition, supplements, and topical formulations, and (2) directing cellular activity by modulating signaling mechanisms such as growth factors and cytokines. Growth factors stimulate cellular proliferation and differentiation, while cytokines facilitate intercellular communication essential for regeneration and repair. This paper discusses the cellular requirements of keratinocytes, melanocytes, and fibroblasts, emphasizing nutrients, antioxidants, peptides, trace elements, and signaling molecules that regulate optimal skin function, barrier integrity, pigmentation, and collagen synthesis

Keywords: Cellular regulation, skin health, keratinocytes, melanocytes, fibroblasts, antioxidants, collagen synthesis
