The Japanese 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 industry 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 and very popular. This biotechnology ingredient acts on autophagy markers (lysosomes, LC3), revives the radiance of intoxicated skin and smoothes microrelief after only 2 weeks of use; after 4 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,4 national and international patents, 2 doctoral theses and 2 partnerships with public research laboratories,7 worldwide communications—including 4 publications and 3 conferences,1 innovation award and 1 international seminar organized by Silab on April 15, 2013 at the “Maison de la Chimie” in Paris.
