Crucial for skin homeostasis, synthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix components are orchestrated by dermal fibroblasts. During aging, alterations of component expression, such as collagens and enzymes, lead to reduction of the mechanical cutaneous tension and defects of skin wound healing. The aim of this study was to better understand the molecular alterations underwent by fibroblasts during aging by comparing secretomic and proteomic signatures of fibroblasts from young (<35years) and aged (>55years) skin donors, in quiescence or TGF-stimulated conditions, using HLPC/MS.

Although efficient, current topical treatments display adverse effects, including skin atrophy and burning sensation, leading to poor patient adherence. To overcome these downsides, pickering emulsions were formulated in which the calcitriol-containing dispersed phase was stabilized with either cyclosporin A- or tacrolimus-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid nanoparticles.
