title: Homocysteine may accelerate skin aging: a new chapter in the biology of skin senescence?
abstract: Skin aging has received tremendous attention in recent years by both scientists and the lay public. This article reviews the evidence that homocysteine, an intermediary sulfhydryl-containing amino acid implicated in atherosclerosis, can accelerate skin aging and the aging of internal organs (universal aging).
