WPI-SKCM² Research Receives International Media Coverage

We are pleased to share that research by Ali Haider and colleagues at WPI-SKCM² has attracted international media attention following the publication of their recent study on the invisible early signs of skin aging.

The study reveals that subtle changes in the molecular organization of collagen can be detected before visible signs of skin aging, such as wrinkles or collagen fiber deterioration, become apparent. Published in ACS Nano, the research was conducted by an international team led by Hiroshima University in collaboration with researchers from partner institutions.

The study has since been featured by several international science and news media outlets, including:
