Summary
Systems Biology, a new and validated integrative technology, finds many uses in the fields of cosmetics and nutraceuticals, accelerating the design of new products, and providing scientific support for health claims. Three practical situations are presented to illustrate how systems biology can be applied in the nutraceuticals and cosmetics area.
-
1
Positive relation between ketogenic diets and diabetes
-
2
Cosmetics and skin aging
-
3
Enhancing wellbeing effect.
