DNA Damage and Repair in Skin Aging

  • Reference work entry

  • 436 Accesses

Abstract

DNA has many roles in skin cell function, including directing metabolism, storing the information of heredity, and sensing cell danger. Damage to DNA is a major cause of the chronic conditions of aging and photoaging. The natural repair system offers significant protection, and new compounds offer the promise of augmenting DNA repair.
