Updated:
MicroRNA (miRNA) regulation represents a critical molecular gateway for addressing skin aging processes at the cellular level. Current research shows that specific miRNAs can modulate multiple pathways simultaneously - from collagen synthesis and elastin production to inflammatory responses and keratinocyte function - with measured effects on skin barrier integrity and cellular senescence markers.
The fundamental challenge lies in delivering stable, targeted miRNA interventions that can effectively regulate multiple aging pathways while maintaining skin homeostasis.
This page brings together solutions from recent research—including exosome-mediated miRNA delivery systems, dual-action miRNA combinations targeting keratinocyte pathways, natural extract-induced miRNA modulation, and recombinant miRNA constructs for selective gene regulation. These and other approaches focus on practical therapeutic applications while addressing both the molecular mechanisms of skin aging and the technical challenges of miRNA delivery.
