Short RNA strand helps exposed skin cells protect body from bacteria, dehydration and even cancer
Every minute, 30,000 of our outermost skin cells die so that we can live. When they do, new cells migrate from the inner layer of the skin to the surface of it, where they form a tough protective barrier. view more (2008-03-03)
Sun exposure seems to reduce risk of multiple sclerosis
Higher sun exposure during childhood and early adolescence is associated with a reduced risk of multiple sclerosis, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Multiple sclerosis is more common at higher latitudes, which generally have lower levels of ultraviolet radiation. The study was carried out in Tasmania, which is located at high latitude and has a... view more... (2003-08-06)
New way to make stem cells avoids risk of cancer
A team of scientists has advanced stem cell research by finding a way to endow human skin cells with embryonic stem cell-like properties without inserting potentially problematic new genes into their DNA. view more (2009-03-27)
Melanoma risk only partially associated vith exposure to UVB from sunlight
Researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have found that the risk of developing melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, is only partially associated with exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, the rays in sunlight that increase in summer and cause sunburn. view more (2005-12-21)
More sun exposure may be good for some people
A new study by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and colleagues in Norway suggests that the benefits of moderately increased exposure to sunlight - namely the production of vitamin D, which protects against the lethal effects of many forms of cancer and other diseases - may outweigh the risk of developing... view more...

Kidney transplant patients face higher skin cancer risk
People who receive a kidney transplant are nearly four times more likely than the general population to develop melanoma, a rare but deadly form of skin cancer. view more (2005-09-29)
New sunscreen ingredient to heal sunburn and help prevent skin cancer
People who suffer from sunburn could soon benefit from a new sunscreen ingredient that actively repairs sunburnt skin and helps prevent the onset of skin cancer. view more (2006-09-08)
'Guardian of the genome' protein found to underlie skin tanning
A protein known as the "master watchman of the genome" for its ability to guard against cancer-causing DNA damage has been found to provide an entirely different level of cancer protection: By prompting the skin to tan in response to ultraviolet light from the sun, it deters the development of melanoma skin cancer, the fastest-increasing... view more...

New study reveals components of cocoa may enhance the appearance of the skin
Cocoa butter has long been used topically in many skin creams and cosmetics because it is thought to be good for the skin. view more (2006-05-23)
METVIX PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY (PDT) SUPERIOR TO CRYOTHERAPYIN THE TREATMENT OF ACTINIC KERATOSIS (AK)
Positive Results From a Large Scale Phase III Study in Australia PhotoCure ASA has recently completed a large scale phase III clinical trial in Australia, where more than 800 pre-cancerous skin lesions (actinic keratosis or “sun spots”) caused by sun damage, in over 200 patients were studied. A novel photodynamic therapy, was compared... view more... (2001-01-15)
Angiotensin inhibitors and receptor blockers linked to lower risk of nonmelanoma skin cancer
The use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) was associated with a reduced risk of basal cell or squamous cell skin cancers in U.S. veterans, researchers report in the August 26 online issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2008-08-27)
New study resolves the mysterious origin of Merkel cells
A new study resolves a 130-year-old mystery over the developmental origin of specialized skin cells involved in touch sensation. view more (2009-09-28)
Immune deficiency linked to a type of eye cancer
The incidence of squamous cell eye cancer is greater among kidney transplant patients and people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) than the general public, which suggests the disease is associated with immune deficiency. view more (2007-08-15)
Shark skin saves naval industry money
Covering ship hulls with artificial shark skin could help ships sailing smoothly. The growth of marine organisms such as barnacles on ship hulls is a major cause of increased energy costs in the naval industry. Shark skin offers a structural design that prevents this so called 'bio-fouling'. view more (2005-07-18)
Growing evidence for increased risk of breast and skin cancers among cabin crew
Cabin crew seem to be at increased risk of breast and skin cancers, suggests research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Researchers from Iceland looked at the chances of developing the potentially fatal skin cancer malignant melanoma, to see if there were any factors likely to increase the acknowledged risk among air crew. A survey of... view more... (2003-10-20)
Sun exposure early in life linked to specific skin cancer gene mutation
Skin cancers often contain different gene mutations, but just how these mutations contribute to the cause of melanomas has been a mystery. view more (2007-06-11)
Could skin cells become brain cells? (p 172)
Results of an experimental study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how adult skin cells can be made into precursor nerve cells, with potential implications for the future treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease. Ethical and practical considerations limit the availability of neural stem cells derived from... view more... (2004-07-07)
Chronic inflammation can help nurture skin cancer, study shows
Inflammation, a frontline defense against infection or disease, can help nurture skin cancer, researchers have found. view more (2008-10-22)
Facial resurfacing treats precancerous skin lesions, may help prevent skin cancer
A program that helps parents talk to their children about skin cancer risks may promote sun-safe behaviors, especially when parents and children have a high-quality relationship. view more (2006-08-22)
Sunscreens can damage skin, researchers find
Are sunscreens always beneficial, or can they be detrimental to users? A research team led by UC Riverside chemists reports that unless people out in the sun apply sunscreen often, the sunscreen itself can become harmful to the skin. view more (2006-08-29)
