Anti-Aging Potentials of Methylene Blue for Human Skin Longevity
This 2017 study evaluated methylene blue (MB) as a potential anti-aging agent for human skin. MB demonstrated potent reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging in cultured human skin fibroblasts from both healthy donors and progeria patients. Compared to other antioxidants like N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC), MitoQ, and MitoTEMPO, MB more effectively stimulated fibroblast
