DEREGULATED NUTRIENT-SENSING
The knock-on effect of

derailed signaling inside our cells

Our cells have a highly sophisticated nutrient-sensing network.

Receptors at the cell surface can detect nutrients that then activate signals that lead to the expression of essential genes needed for cell growth and other essential functions. As we age these networks become less efficient and can contribute to the aging process.⁽¹⁻²⁾

Our cells have a highly conserved nutrient sensing network consisting of many signaling pathways, which are activated upon the binding of a molecule to its receptor. Receptors at the cell surface can detect nutrients that then activate signals that lead to the expression of essential genes needed for correct cellular function.

As we age these networks become less efficient and can contribute to aging.

Restoring the efficiency of the networks by supplying nutrients to the skin could be one way to help improve skin aging.⁽¹⁻²⁾
