Researchers find demand for cosmetic and surgical procedures in dermatologic surgery rising rapidly
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and the Laser and Skin Cancer Center of Indiana, (Carmel, Indiana), found that there has been a dramatic increase in the number of procedures performed and patient demand for dermatologic health care since 2000. view more (2009-10-06)
Caspase-14 protects our skin against UVB and dehydration
Ultraviolet rays can be harmful to our skin and pave the way to the onset of skin cancers. VIB researchers connected to Ghent University have demonstrated that the caspase-14 protein - whose function has been unknown up to now - not only plays a role in maintaining the balance of moisture in the skin but also offers protection against UVB rays. view more (2007-05-22)
Protein protects anti-cancer gene from chemical shutdown
A protein that is largely absent in one type of skin cancer protects an important gene in a cell's defense against harmful mutations from being silenced. view more (2007-07-20)
Adapting Space-Industry Technology to Treat Breast Cancer
Researchers at Rush University Medical Center and Argonne National Laboratory are collaborating on a study to determine if an imaging technique used by NASA to inspect the space shuttle can be used to predict tissue damage often experienced by breast cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. view more (2009-11-03)
Resurgent Rickets - Call For Vitamin D Supplementation For Pregnant Women And Children (p 1389)
UK authors of a seminar article in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how rickets-often considered a disease of the past-is still a global public-health problem today. The authors propose the use of Vitamin D supplementation for pregnant women and among children up to the age of puberty to prevent a resurgence of the disease. Vitamin D is... view more...

Sun-damaged skin does not improve with estrogen treatments
Treating the skin with estrogen can stimulate collagen production-which improves the appearance of the skin-in areas not typically exposed to the sun, according to new research from the University of Michigan Health System. view more (2008-09-16)
Topical application of chemotherapy drug may improve appearance of aging skin
Topical application of the chemotherapy medication fluorouracil appears to reduce potentially precancerous skin patches and improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin. view more (2009-06-16)
Reflection makes Skin Cancer Diagnosis easier
A new way of detecting skin cancers using light reflected from pigmented skin lesions is described this week in the Institute of Physics journal, Physics in Medicine and Biology. Scientists from the Institute of Cancer Research and Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Trust studied the spectra of light reflected from skin lesions. As benign and malignant... view more... (2000-02-18)
Signals from stroking have direct route to brain
Nerve signals that tell the brain that we are being slowly stroked on the skin have their own specialised nerve fibres in the skin. This is shown by a new study from the Sahlgrenska Academy. The discovery may explain why touching the skin can relieve pain. view more (2009-04-15)
New Model Developed to Estimate Radiation Skin Doses during CT Guided Interventional Procedures
A new model that would allow interventional radiologists (radiologists who specialize in fine needle aspiration, fine needle biopsy and radiofrequency ablation) to better estimate patient radiation skin doses during CT guided interventional procedures has been developed. view more (2008-11-04)
New gene discovery that stops skin cancer in its tracks
Tumour Suppressor Genes (TSGs) are important in controlling the growth of cells. Cancer is caused when cells multiply uncontrollably, so the TSGs play a vital role in stopping healthy cells from becoming cancerous. Experts already know that one particular TSG called P16 is able to stop the growth of cells in the most aggressive form of skin cancer... view more... (1999-02-22)
OHSU Cancer Instutute researchers find abnormalities in gene for melanoma
New research from the Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute about mutations in melanoma may bring a wellspring of hope to many patients. view more (2008-05-30)
Gladstone scientists reveal that fat synthesizing enzyme is key to healthy skin and hair
Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) have found that an enzyme associated with the synthesis of fat in the body is also an element in healthy skin and hair. view more (2009-02-13)
Skin flaps deliver cancer-fighting therapy, ASPS study reveals
Using gene therapy, plastic surgeons have delivered cancer fighting proteins through skin flaps placed on cancerous tumors on rats with a 79 percent reduction in tumor volume. view more (2008-05-09)
'Master regulator' of skin formation discovered
Researchers at Oregon State University have found one gene in the human body that appears to be a master regulator for skin development, in research that could help address everything from skin diseases such as eczema or psoriasis to the wrinkling of skin as people age. view more (2009-03-25)
Beach vacations may increase future skin cancer risk in children
Vacationing at the shore led to a 5 percent increase in nevi (more commonly called "moles") among 7-year-old children, according to a paper published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. view more (2009-02-03)
Inherited melanoma risk: What you do know does help you
When people know the results of genetic tests confirming they have inherited an increased risk of developing melanoma, they follow skin cancer screening recommendations more proactively-much like those who have already been diagnosed with the potentially deadly disease. view more (2008-06-18)
Firefighters face increased risk for certain cancers
University of Cincinnati (UC) environmental health researchers have determined that firefighters are significantly more likely to develop four different types of cancer than workers in other fields. view more (2006-11-10)
Study finds even healthcare professionals are sun-worshipers - despite knowing all about the risks of skin cancer
Prevention and education programmes have increased knowledge about the dangers of too much sun, but even healthcare professionals with high levels of awareness of the risk of skin cancer don't seem to be changing their behaviour, according to research presented at ECCO 12 - The European Cancer Conference today (Monday 22 September). view more (2003-09-20)
Green tea holds promise as new treatment for inflammatory skin diseases
Green tea could hold promise as a new treatment for skin disorders such as psoriasis and dandruff, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2007-08-07)
