Abstract
Skin aging is a complex biological process involving intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Skin aging contains alterations at the tissue, cellular, and molecular levels. Currently, there is increasing evidence that skin aging occurs not only in time-dependent chronological aging but also plays a role in skin pigmentary disorders. This review provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of skin aging on different types of pigmentary disorders, including both hyperpigmentation disorders such as melasma and senile lentigo and hypopigmentation disorders such as vitiligo, idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis and graying of hair. In addition, we explore the mechanisms of skin aging on pigmentation regulation and suggest several potential therapeutic approaches for skin aging and aging-related pigmentary disorders.
期刊介绍:
Free Radical Biology and Medicine is a leading journal in the field of redox biology, which is the study of the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other oxidizing agents in biological systems. The journal serves as a premier forum for publishing innovative and groundbreaking research that explores the redox biology of health and disease, covering a wide range of topics and disciplines. Free Radical Biology and Medicine also commissions Special Issues that highlight recent advances in both basic and clinical research, with a particular emphasis on the mechanisms underlying altered metabolism and redox signaling. These Special Issues aim to provide a focused platform for the latest research in the field, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers and clinicians.
