Jelena Miladinović-Delić, founder and the director of Beauty Core, looks at the potential peptide molecules offer, in particular where fine cellular and molecular mechanisms are used to regulate gene expression

With the improvement and wide accessibility of healthcare as well as an increase in wealth of the general population, the expectations and the demand for anti-ageing actives can only be expected to rise in the future.
