    Studysummary This study discusses how redox imbalance, specifically through reduced Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 mediated by the transcription factor JunB and sphingolipid metabolism changes, contributes to skin aging by depleting stem cell pools and altering the extracellular matrix, ultimately impacting skin integrity and function.
