Abstract
Compositions and methods are provided for countering the adverse effects of aging on cells in culture and in vivo in which cells are contacted with the compositions that ameliorate the adverse effects of aging on mammalian cells by slowing or reversing the changes that normally accompanying aging of such cells but do not significantly increase the growth rate or total proliferative capacity of such cells. The compositions contain one or more 6-(substituted amino)purine cytokinins and preferably do not contain ingredients that promote cell division or that induce or potentiate the ability of the 6-(substituted amino) purine cytokinins to promote cell division. Among the preferred applications of the compositions and methods provided herein are the preservation of or restoration of the health of mammalian cells in culture and, by application of the compositions to human skin, the health and youthful appearance of the skin.
