| "Exercise pill" target gene may contribute to skin aging and cell deathAMP-activated kinase (AMPK) agonists mimic the effects of exercise, raising the possibility of a “workout pill” that could simulate the effects of vigorous activity. The applications to human health are, to mildly understate the case, significant; it sounds almost too good to be true. That may be the case: AMPK causes cell death in response to ultraviolet light, so activating the gene might exacerbate the photoaging effects of sunlight. |
