Every step you take changes your life
After over a dozen years of studying urolithin A, which is produced in our gut, MUW scientists have discovered its anti-inflammatory properties, and have come up with the idea of applying it topically on the skin. Several patents have been obtained based on their research – which can now lead to the development of new anti-ageing cosmetics as well as new drugs against skin and mucosa inflammations. Professor Sebastian Granica, Director of the MUW Department of Pharmaceutical Biology and Medicinal Plants Biotechnology, and Professor Jakub Piwowarski, of the MUW Department of Pharmaceutical Microbiology and Bioanalysis, discuss their research and the properties of urolithin A.
