Photostability evaluation To test the photostability in buffer and cell culture media, PLGA nanoparticles encapsulating DDA-GSH-AuNCs in water (2 mg/mL) was mixed with water (control), PBS or DMEM that contains 10% FBS (final concentration of PLGA nanoparticles is 0.5 mg/mL and AuNCs 4 g/mL as gold)
This type of multi-ingredient approach often yields better results than single-ingredient products, as it addresses skin brightening from multiple angles whilst providing antioxidant protection
Immune Support Both compounds boost immune system function, helping the body resist infections and recover faster
Core antioxidant role GSH participates in the detoxification of peroxides and other reactive species through enzyme systems such as glutathione peroxidase, thereby helping protect cellular lipids, proteins, and DNA from oxidative damage
Not surprisingly, many human cancer cells overexpress genes of the MTHFD family (69) and thus are promising targets for anti-cancer therapeutics
