Chemical substances in some cosmetic and beauty products could increase risk of endometriosis
Researchers from the University of Granada and the San Cecilio de Granada Teaching Hospital confirm that endocrine disruptors chemical substances that may mimic or block the action of hormones are present in some cosmetic products
The use of some cosmetic and beauty products (such as facemasks, lipsticks, face creams, nail polish, hair dyes, creams, hairspray, and hair mousse) could be related to an increased likelihood of developing endometriosis, due to certain chemical ingredients that mimic or block the action of hormones (known as endocrine disruptors).
This is one of the conclusions of a study conducted by researchers from the University of Granada (UGR) and the San Cecilio de Granada Teaching Hospital, published in the journal Environmental Research. The work forms part of a wider research project called EndEA.

Scientists from the Genomic Integrity and Structural Biology Group led by Rafael Fernández-Leiro at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) have discovered how certain proteins ensure the repair of errors introduced into the DNA during its replication. Using cryo-electron microscopy, they made the MutS protein, also known as the guardian of our genome, visible. That enabled them to describe how this single protein is able to coordinate the essential DNA repair process from beginning to end.
