Abstract

The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is important in the skin, contributing to several epidermal functions, including differentiation, water permeability barrier repair, and wound healing. Celli et al. (2021) show that CaSR levels are reduced in keratinocytes/skin from aged individuals, with resulting impairment of key functions. CaSR agonists can correct these defects, suggesting a possible therapy to combat aging-related delayed skin wound healing.
