Unripe peach (Prunus persica) extract ameliorates damage from UV irradiation and improved collagen XVIII expression in 3D skin model

Summary Introduction Collagen type XVIII regulates cellular activities of adjacent cells at the dermal‐epidermal junction (DEJ). To investigate its possible changes during aging, we compared its mRNA levels and protein localization in skin samples from female participants aged 20‐70 years old. In addition, we evaluated the beneficial effects of unripe peach extracts in a 3D skin model. Methods Sun‐exposed or sun‐protected female skin samples...
