In this study, published in the journal, ACS Omega, tyrosinase and collagenase activity were targeted for their relevance to skincare. Tyrosinase plays a pivotal role in melanin synthesis ...

Melanin protects the skin-;the body's largest organ and a vital component of the immune system-;from the damaging effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. When the skin is exposed to UV radiation ...

Hence, inhibiting tyrosinase activity offers a strategy to mitigate melanin production and promote skin whitening. Meanwhile, the promising anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial and ...

With enough human tyrosinase for their experiments, Kolbe’s team screened 50,000 compounds against the enzyme to see which one might inhibit its activity. Of these, a compound called amino ...

In this case, the correction restored tyrosinase activity and concomitant melanin synthesis in a heritable manner, and this resulted in the production of pigmented hair shafts in albino mice.
