Shiseido Reveals that Downregulation of Epidermal Keratinocyte-Derived IL-34 Skews Macrophage Balance

Our new discovery revealed that the downregulation of IL-34 (interleukin 34), a protein secreted in the epidermis, skews the M1/M2 balance, a balance between two types of macrophages (M1 macrophages and M2 macrophages), which has previously been found to be involved in skin aging and collagen metabolism.
