Abstract

Intrinsic aging is associated with metabolic dysregulation and altered tissue organization. Using label-free multiphoton microscopy, skin was non-invasively imaged in vivo in young and aged mice and optical biomarkers of metabolism and altered collagen organization were compared. Aged skin demonstrated decreased NADH autofluorescence intensity, higher mitochondrial fractal dimensions, and longer mean NADH fluorescence lifetimes compared to young skin. Moreover, aged dermal collagen exhibited greater randomness of fiber organization. These findings demonstrate that multiphoton microscopy is a viable technique to monitor multiple structural and biochemical changes associated with the aging process.
