A METHOD OF SCREENING MATERIAL FOR IMPROVING SKIN FUNCTIONS

摘要

PURPOSE: A screening method of a skin improvement material is provided to effectively screen the skin improvement material capable of preventing skin ageing, maintaining skin moisture, and improving skin barrier function. CONSTITUTION: A screening method of a skin improvement material comprises the following steps: processing a candidate material to a skin cell; detecting an expression amount change of MAP17(membrane-associated protein 17kd); and selecting the candidate material which induces the change of the expression amount as the skin improvement material. The skin cell is a skin keratinocyte.
