Randomized controlled trial of fractionated laser resurfacing on aged skin as prophylaxis against actinic neoplasia Open
BACKGROUNDThe loss of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) expression in senescent dermal fibroblasts during aging is associated with an increased risk of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC). We tested how IGF-1 signaling can influence photocar…
