31 Jul 2024 --- The Singapore government has awarded SG$13.9 million (US$10.3 million) in national grants to a research program studying skin aging in the Asian population. The program is directed toward developing more effective, targeted treatments and preventive measures for dermatological conditions unique to Asian skin. The study addresses age-related skin conditions such as skin thinning, persistent itching and poor barrier function. The research team will also test the hypothesis that skin aging in Asian populations is driven by inflammation throughout the body, affecting the skin’s ability to maintain its structure and resilience.
