Skin that acne was able to make in high school days telomere lengthens and retards aging and becomes youthful skin after becoming an adult

It is caused by clogging sebum and keratin in the pores and breeding bacteria causing infectionAcneThere are many teens troubled by. But those who suffered from acne when youngTelomereHas changed and became an adult, the research result that the wrinkle is tightened less than the person who did not suffer from acne was announced.

Telomeres are located at the end of the chromosome, the part for protecting genetic information. It is said that telomere will become shorter as cell division is repeated, resulting in aging phenomenon.

A report was published in April 2016 that it succeeded in revitalizing white blood cells by elongating telomeres.

Journal of Investigative DermatologyAccording to the content announced at the young age that people suffering from acne telomere in the white blood cells will become longer, the cells will slowly get aged. It has been confirmed by a dermatologist that "People suffering from acne tend to have youthful skin with no wrinkle and tension than those who have never suffered from acne" However, this research will support this phenomenon.

A team led by Mr. Simone Ribero, a dermatologist at King's College London. Mr. Ribero measured the length of telomeres along with age, height, weight, etc. for 1205 pairs of twin females. A quarter of the subjects were plagued by acne at some point in their life, and it turned out that these people had longer telomere than other subjects. Furthermore, when researchers examine biological tissue of the subject's skin, those who did not suffer from acne had a tendency for genes related to cell death to be activated.

"It is believed that the cause of getting a difference in the skin and protecting it from aging is related to the length of the telomere," Ribero says, "If growth of skin in young age is somewhat I believe it has had an impact.

However, the findings only show that there is a correlation between young aged acne and skin aging, and it can not be said that "People suffering from acne always have telomere longer and skin becomes younger" And that. Ribero says that further research is needed to clarify the relationship between acne and skin aging.
