The research results were presented under the title of "Skin Barrier Formation by Epigenetic Regulation of EGR3" at the Society for Investigative Dermatology\'s annual academic conference, which took place online on May 3-8.The Society for Investigative Dermatology is the most prestigious academic society in the field of skin research.

Key Points: 
  • The research results were presented under the title of "Skin Barrier Formation by Epigenetic Regulation of EGR3" at the Society for Investigative Dermatology\'s annual academic conference, which took place online on May 3-8.The Society for Investigative Dermatology is the most prestigious academic society in the field of skin research.
  • Keratinocytes in the granular layer of the epidermis play an especially important role in the proper formation and functioning of the skin barrier.
  • At the same time, it was also established that in comprehensively regulating the expression of genes vital for skin barrier formation, EGR3 uses an epigenetic method involving enhancer RNA[i].\nIn fact, Amorepacific achieved much more than simply identifying the role of EGR3 in the barrier-forming process and its epigenetic regulation mechanism; the company also discovered that materials treated with peony root extracts selectively increase EGR3 expression in keratinocytes thereby strengthening the skin barrier.
  • Continuing with the research, the company even went on to turn those findings into cosmetic materials.\nThe skin barrier is the basis of healthy skin and this research conducted by Amorepacific has great significance in that it has established a scientific basis for mitigating skin damage and for helping people maintain healthy skin.
