research Physiological Doses of Red Light Induce IL ‐4 Release in Cocultures between Human Keratinocytes and Immune Cells
Red light at 627 nm can safely trigger IL-4 release in skin cells, potentially helping treat inflammatory skin conditions.
research Molecular Basis of Maintaining Circannual Rhythm in the Skin of Cashmere Goat
Goat skin adapts to seasonal changes through genes that respond to daylight length, affecting hormone levels and potentially making skin cells light-sensitive.
research Commentary on Clinical Safety and Efficacy of Dual Wavelength Low Level Light Therapy in Androgenetic Alopecia; A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Study
research Melanin Light Absorption as the Necessary but Not Sufficient Condition for Photoepilation: Miniaturization and Eclipse Phenomena
Melanin absorbing light is necessary but not enough for effective hair removal by light treatment.
research Nutrological control and treatment of melasma in the COVID-19 pandemic: a concise systematic review
Diet and nutrients, including lycopene from tomatoes and hydroquinone from wheat, can help control melasma, a skin condition.
research Activity evaluation of epidermo-melanin unit and dermal damage in melasma
Melasma results from changes in the skin's pigment and structure, not just pigment cell growth.
research The transdermal inhibition of melanogenesis by a cell-membrane-permeable peptide delivery system based on poly-arginine
A new skin-whitening agent using a peptide from wheat is safe and effective at reducing skin pigmentation.
research 585 Effects of a LED light therapy mask on an ex vivo skin model and clinical signs of aging
The LED light therapy mask improved skin elasticity and reduced signs of aging in a test and in women aged 40-60.
research Melanogenesis During the Anagen-Catagen-Telogen Transformation of the Murine Hair Cycle
Hair stops producing melanin as it transitions from the growth phase to the resting phase.
research Characterization of the serotoninergic system in the C57BL/6 mouse skin
Mouse skin can produce and process serotonin, with variations depending on hair cycle, body location, and mouse strain.
research Peripheral Skin Temperature and Circadian Biological Clock in Shift Nurses after a Day off
Shift nurses show altered body temperature and stress hormone levels, suggesting their body clocks adjust to irregular schedules.
research Melasma in a transgender woman
Transgender women on estrogen therapy can develop melasma and need proper skin care.
research Proopiomelanocortin expression in the skin during induced hair growth in mice
research Hair Color, Molt, and Testis Size in Male, Short-Tailed Weasels Treated with Melatonin
Melatonin causes weasels to grow white fur and become reproductively inactive.
research Effects of photoperiod change on serum hormone level, hair follicle growth and antioxidant status in skin tissue of cashmere goats
Changing light exposure boosts hormone levels and antioxidant activity, improving cashmere growth in goats.
research Light therapy as a treatment for sexual dysfunction; focus on testosterone levels
research Topical and Systemic Therapies in Melasma: A Systematic Review
Choose melasma treatments based on individual needs and local availability.
research 457 Impact of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone on mitochondrial function in human dermal fibroblasts
Alpha-MSH affects mitochondrial function, and MC1R mutations may increase skin aging.
research Dual deficiency of melatonin and dihydrotestosterone promotes stromal cell damage and mediates prostatitis via the cGAS-STING pathway in sleep-deprived mice
Lack of sleep in mice leads to prostatitis by reducing certain hormones and activating an inflammatory pathway, which can be temporarily fixed with normal sleep.
research Pimecrolimus increases the melanogenesis and migration of melanocytes in vitro
Pimecrolimus boosts melanin production and movement of skin pigment cells.
research Idiopathic seasonal alopecia in horse: case report
A horse in Brazil had seasonal hair loss possibly linked to light exposure and melatonin levels.
research Hyperpigmentation and Melasma
Hyperpigmentation is common in pregnancy and may not fully fade after birth; melasma, also frequent, can persist but has limited treatment options during pregnancy.
research 560 The molecular mechanism of PCE-DP, a novel brightening active ingredient
PCE-DP brightens skin and promotes hair growth by enhancing cell growth and reducing melanin uptake.
research Photobiomodulation in Dermatology: Harnessing Light from Visible to Near Infrared
Low-intensity light therapy is effective for skin healing, reducing inflammation, and treating various skin conditions.
research Biocompatible exosomes derived from Pinctada martensii mucus for therapeutic melanin regulation via α-MSH/NF-κB/MITF pathway
Exosomes from Pinctada martensii mucus can safely reduce melanin production, offering a new treatment for skin pigment issues.
research Dual Wavelength LEDs Induce Reactive Oxygen Species and Nitric Oxide That Inhibit the Production of Dihydrotestosterone by 5‐α Reductase
Dual wavelength LEDs may help reduce hair loss by lowering DHT levels.
research The Application of Light Emitting Diode (LED ) in Cosmetic Dermatology
LED therapy is a promising, non-invasive skin treatment, but needs standardization and personalization.
research The first clinical experience on efficacy of topical flutamide on melasma compared with topical hydroquinone: a randomized clinical trial
Topical flutamide works as well as hydroquinone for melasma but needs more safety checks.
research 1618 Simulated solar radiation (SSR) induced skin inflammation across skin types measured by dynamic optical coherence tomography and laser doppler
