Exploring the Mechanism of Regulating Cell Autophagy by Traditional Chinese Medicine to Delay Skin Aging from the Perspective of"Yingwei-Meridians-Zangfu"
Autophagy is a phenomenon of cellular self-digestion unique to eukaryotic cells,which can remove senescent organ-elles and inflammatory metabolites,and play an important role in the process of skin aging.The author summarized three ways for autophagy to delay skin aging by regulating the proliferation and differentiation of epidermis and dermis to repair skin damage,elimi-nating free radicals to resist oxidative stress,and regulating the inflammatory response to maintain skin homeostasis,and tried to explain the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)connotation of skin aging regulated by autophagy from the perspective of"Yingwei-Meridians-Zangfu".This paper aims to provide ideas for the study of the micro-mechanism of TCM to skin aging,and the theoretical basis for clinical application of TCM therapy to alleviate skin aging.
