Topic: Recent Advances in
Skin Anti-aging Agents
In the past 15 years, we have been committed to studying
non melanoma skin cancer, mainly basal cell carcinoma
and squamous cell carcinoma. Our goal is to further
understand the molecular mechanisms involved in its
genesis and evolution, and to find therapeutic methods that
can be used for its treatment, especially photodynamic
therapy, which is a clinically approved treatment method
for certain types of non-small cell lung cancer based on
photosensitizers, light and oxygen compounds. We are
also currently involved in the use of nanoparticles to
determine and treat the extent of skin damage. We used
cell lines of different types of skin cancer, skin models
produced in vitro and mouse chronic UV carcinogenesis
models to study. UV is the main cause of CCNM. At
the same time, molecular research was conducted on
Prof. Ángeles Juarranz biopsies from patients to improve the understanding and
