Abstract: Use of dihydromyricetin as an epigenetic active ingredient for cosmetic or dermatological skin care.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining the biological age of human skin comprising providing human skin cells, determining a methylation level of at least two CpG-dinucleotides of a specific region of at least one chromosome of said skin cells and determining the biological age of said skin cells by comparing said determined methylation level with empirically determined data representing a correlation between the methylation level of the CpG-nucleotide and the chronological age of at least one human individual.

Abstract: The invention relates to active ingredient combinations of magnolia bark extract and hyaluronic acid, cosmetic and/or dermatological preparations containing said active ingredient combinations and to the use thereof for the cosmetic and/or dermatological treatment and/or prophylaxis of cellulite and/or the appearance form of skin aging.

Abstract: A cosmetic or dermatological preparation which is suitable for application to skin and comprises 3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propane-1-one in a concentration which is effective for at least one of increasing skin moisture content, moisturizing skin, improving the surface structure of the skin, reducing cellulite, increasing the resilience and elasticity of skin, strengthening the connective tissue of skin, and reducing stretch marks on skin. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for inhibiting the propagation of an undesired cell population, the method comprising introducing into a cell an antagonist of Bat 3, or of a functional variant thereof, said antagonist depleting Bat 3, a functional variant thereof, in a cell of said cell population, and verifying the reduced proliferation and/or cell death in Bat 3 depleted cell populations; disclosed is further the use of a Bat 3 antagonist for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of diseases which are caused by the propagation of an undesired cell population.
