Biologist Yoshinori Ohsumi was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine on Oct. 3 for having elucidated the biological mechanism of autophagy. According to supplier Silab, it is a powerful process for degrading and recycling the constituents of cells. His work showed the importance of autophagy dysfunctions in a number of pathologies, as well as in the aging process.
As recently as 2006, autophagy was only “background noise” in dermatology. Since that date, Silab advanced research with its university partners has enabled it to implement a research strategy to more fully understand this machinery and its functions in the skin.
In 2009, Silab proposed the cosmetic ingredient Celldetox, a modulator of autophagy, currently available on the market. This biotechnology ingredient acts on autophagy markers (lysosomes, LC3), revives the radiance of intoxicated skin and smoothes microrelief after only two weeks of use; after four weeks, the complexion is uniform and wrinkles are attenuated. It is a genuine booster of cell detoxification and longevity, providing a second youth to fatigued skin, said Silab.
Key figures include: 10 years of active research, four national and international patents, two doctoral theses and two partnerships with public research laboratories, seven worldwide communications—including four publications and three conferences, one innovation award and an international seminar organized by Silab on April 15, 2013 at the “Maison de la Chimie” in Paris.
