... of blue light on the skin, many questions in this field remain unexplored. The aim of this article was to review the currently available evidence on the deleterious effects of blue light on the skin as well as the methods and strategies designed to protect from the detrimental effects of blue light...

...Árpád Farkas; Gergő Farkas During both short- and long-duration spaceflight, several health problems can occur, including those of the skin. Astronauts in space and after returning to earth experience erythematous, burning, itchy, dry, sensitive, and thinning skin. Other skin problems...

... potential of curcumin. Various previous studies address this issue, but a comparison of the efficacy between these formulations remains difficult. The reason for this is a missing standard formulation as benchmark control and an easy-to-use skin penetration model that allows for a fast discrimination...

...Ana S. Évora; Michael J. Adams; Simon A. Johnson; Zhibing Zhang Background: Skin is the interface between an organism and the external environment, and hence the stratum corneum (SC) is the first to withstand mechanical insults that, in certain conditions, may lead to integrity loss...

... of this compound on improving wound healing are limited by its aqueous solubility, poor tissue absorption, and rapid metabolism. Hence, the current study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of curcumin-loaded self-microemulsifying gel on wound healing. Methods: Ex vivo permeation studies of the skin...

.... Activation and positive impact of TRPV1 via capsaicin has been studied in various dermatological conditions and in other skin-related issues. Past studies documented that capsaicin plays a vital role in the prevention of atopic dermatitis as well as psoriasis. Moreover, TRPV1 is also very important for skin...

...Luis Monteiro Rodrigues; Joachim W. Fluhr; the EEMCO Group Biomechanics of the skin is an important subject in skin research. It has been studied for many decades involving various technologies and methods to characterize and quantify mechanical properties of the skin under different in vivo...

Langan; Ralf Paus Whilst topical steroids represent one of the most frequently administered treatments for skin and hair diseases, predominantly based on their glucocorticoid receptor-mediated anti-inflammatory...

... and industrialization. They can absorb organic and metal compounds with potential biological activity, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and airborne pollen allergens. Local and systemic toxicities may be induced in the skin if the particulates release their harmful components upon dermal contact. Methods...

..., we will provide an overview of vitamin D functions in the skin physiology with specific focus on its role in certain inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was carried out in PubMed and Google Scholar databases using keywords...

...Yue Zheng; Qingfang Xu; Yating Peng; Zijian Gong; Haiyan Chen; Wei Lai; Howard I. Maibach Background: Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) are differentially expressed across stages of differentiation and development, but the role of lncRNA in human skin photoaging mechanisms remains poorly understood...

... involved in a variety of important and skin-relevant cellular functions and processes, including aging, UV damage response, oxidative stress, and wound repair. In addition, recent research is unraveling the role of sirtuins in a variety of skin diseases, including melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers...

... (FRs) in the skin is studied. Additionally, the influence of IR radiation at high temperatures in the degradation of skin collagen is evaluated. In both experiments the protective effect against IR radiation of phospholipid nanostructures (bicosomes) incorporating β-carotene (Bcb) is also evaluated...
