Decreased collagen synthesis by fibroblasts is a key aspect of skin aging. Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) is a bioabsorbable material that can release lactate continuously, stimulating endogenous collagen synthesis in the skin. Herein, this study aimed to investigate the impact of PLLA-released lactate on collagen production in fibroblasts for skin rejuvenation. Human fibroblasts were exposed to varying concentrations of PLLA in vitro, while PLLA was injected into the back skin of aged mice in vivo. Safety and efficacy of PLLA on collagen synthesis and skin rejuvenation were evaluated through Calcein-AM/PI staining, EdU proliferation assay, and analysis of collagen I and collagen III expression in fibroblasts using western blotting and immunofluorescence. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms, lactate contents in cell-free supernatant and cell lysates from PLLA-treated fibroblasts, as well as total lysine lactylation (Pan Kla) levels were measured. Additionally, we found that fibroblasts can uptake extracellular lactate released from PLLA through monocarboxylate transporter-1 (MCT1) to facilitate latent-transforming growth factor beta-binding protein 1 (LTBP1) lactylation at lysine 752 (K752) via a KAT8-dependent mechanism, then increases the protein levels of collagen I and collagen III in fibroblasts. Overall, this study highlights a valuable insight into lactylation modification of non-histone protein for skin rejuvenation.

In regard to both natural aging and photoaging caused by UV radiation, a decrease in skin collagen and elastin fibers results in the loss of soft tissue volume. Biodegradable polymer fillers have been used to overcome this problem, but the slow rate of reconstruction and particle agglomeration has limited this approach. The DMSB01 filler, which consists of poly d-l-lactic acid (PDLLA) with a methoxy polyethylene glycol (mPEG) initiator, was created to address this issue.

Skin aging is a complex and multifactorial process influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The periorbital area of the face is particularly susceptible to premature aging signs due to its delicate skin structure, and is a major concern for many individuals. While hyaluronic acid (HA)-based dermal filler products are commonly used for periorbital rejuvenation, novel approaches to effectively locally address the visible signs of aging are available.

The degradation of extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen and elastin with aging leads to skin sagging. Polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres are used as facial fillers because of their ability to provide volume, biodegradability, and collagen-stimulating properties. The direct biological effects of PCL microspheres on fibroblasts, particularly in stimulating sustained collagen production, require further investigation.

Background: Alterations in intercellular communication driven by cellular senescence constitute an important factor in skin aging. Migrasome, a newly discovered vesicular organelle, efficiently participates in intercellular communication; however, the relationship between cellular senescence and migrasomes remains unreported.
Objective: This study aims to explore the possible relationship between cellular senescence and migrasomes formation, and investigate the effects of young fibroblast-derived migrasomes on senescent keratinocytes and wound healing in aged skin.

Excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major factor in the development of skin photoaging wrinkles. While current treatments can slow the progression of photoaging, it is very difficult to achieve complete reversal. This study introduces galvanic cell microneedle (GCMN) patches with magnesium-containing bipolar electrodes.
