Amorepacific Discovers Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Green Tea Probiotics on Skin

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Amorepacific Technical Research Institute's Green Tea Lactobacillus Research Center announced on the 29th that it has confirmed the skin anti-inflammatory effects of green tea lactobacillus exosomes (extracellular vesicles) and published the findings in the online edition of the international journal Journal of Extracellular Vesicles.

The research center identified that exosomes induce the differentiation of undifferentiated monocytes into type 2 macrophages, which determine the breadth and depth of inflammatory responses and lead the anti-inflammatory efficacy. Furthermore, it confirmed that green tea lactobacillus exosomes improve the skin's hyperinflammatory state, demonstrating anti-inflammatory effects.

Exosomes are naturally occurring nanomaterials approximately 100 nanometers (nm) in size, evolutionarily conserved and secreted by living organisms for intercellular communication. Due to their biocompatibility and ability to rapidly and accurately deliver active substances to other organisms or cells, exosomes have recently attracted attention worldwide in the fields of life sciences and medicine.

Park Young-ho, director of Amorepacific Technical Research Institute, said, “The findings announced by Amorepacific Green Tea Lactobacillus Research Center are very meaningful results as they reveal the skin efficacy and potential applications of exosomes, which are gaining attention in the global life science community.”
