A discovery of a gene in human body makes a ray of hope to prevent skin aging. A Bengali-American professor and some other researcher at Oregon University College of Pharmacy found genes in the body. The gene is named as CTIP2. They identified it as a major regulator for human skin development. Additionally, in rooting out a number of skin disorders, the gene plays a vital role. The University statement said the result can give the answers to some skin diseases like eczema or some other process that people get to age such as wrinkles.
In the statement Indian-American professor Indra said they found a factor CTIP2 that mediates skin developing and agein.
Indra said by stimulating gene expression some ways in which very old botanical extracts and herbs may successfully do the task of rejuvenating skin. He thinks that the task may be done much effectively and scientifically. He added it can be done permanently and very soon the effort will come to fruition.
