Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BL-G101 Protects Against UVB-Induced Photoaging in HS68 Dermal Fibroblasts

Nutrients

Abstract · CC BY

Background : Skin photoaging is primarily caused by prolonged ultraviolet (UV) exposure, which manifests as dryness and wrinkle formation. Recent studies highlight that beneficial microorganisms have garnered considerable attention for their emerging role in modulating host health, especially in skin photoaging.
