Live skin substitute to unlock new products
Many long-established skin products, such as shampoos and soaps, contain harmful or ineffective ingredients because effective testing methods were unavailable when they were developed. The first ever model of live skin with a full ecosystem of micro-organisms - created at the University of Leeds - has the potential to help develop dozens of new... view more... (2004-07-06)
Fatty diet does not increase risk of skin cancer
Eating fatty food does not appear to increase the risk of skin cancer. A study published today in the open access journal BMC Cancer contradicts previous research that showed a link between high fat intake and certain types of skin cancer. view more (2006-05-30)
'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)
EGF receptor activation prevents microbes from going more than skin deep
Our skin not only serves as a physical barrier against infection but skin cells themselves can mount an immune response to kill invading microbes by producing antimicrobial polypeptides (AMPs). view more (2006-06-16)
Small molecules may explain psoriasis
A research team at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet has shown for the time that microRNA, small RNA molecules, may play an important role in the development of inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis and atopic eczema. view more (2007-07-12)
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)
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)
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)
Scientists develope a new model of artificial canine skin
Researchers at UNIVET, a spin-off of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, in cooperation with the animal nutrition company Affinity Petcare, have developed an artificial cellular model which faithfully reproduces the characteristics of dog's skin and which will allow, therefore, the carrying out of various lines of research related to... view more...

U of Minnesota researcher discovers the starting point of sun-induced skin cancer
According to a new study from the University of Minnesota, the earliest event in the development of sun-induced skin cancer may have been identified. view more (2008-05-15)
Enhanced skin cancer risk linked to defects in cellular aging controls
Cell lifespan is limited by telomeres, DNA sequences that cap chromosomes and control the number of times a cell may be copied. A new study reported in Disease Models & Mechanisms (DMM), dmm.biologists.org, describes how telomere dysfunction in skin cells can lead to increased skin cancer risk and pigmentation. view more (2009-02-23)
Researchers discover scent of skin cancer
According to new research from the Monell Center, odors from skin can be used to identify basal cell carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer. The findings, presented at the 236th meeting of the American Chemical Society, may open doors to development of new methods to detect basal cell carcinoma and other forms of skin cancer. view more (2008-08-21)
History of nonmelanoma skin cancer is associated with increased risk for subsequent malignancies
Individuals with a history of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) are at increased risk for other cancers, according to a study published in the August 26 online issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2008-08-27)
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)
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)
Switching immunosuppressants reduces cancer risk in kidney
Switching to a newer type of immunosuppressant drug may reduce the high rate of skin cancer after kidney transplantation, according to research being presented at the American Society of Nephrology's 42nd Annual Meeting and Scientific Exposition in San Diego, CA. view more (2009-11-02)
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)
Compromised skin barrier function plays a role in psorasis development
Researchers at the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) and the Anhui Medical University, China, have identified genes that play an important role in the development of psoriasis, a common chronic skin disease. view more (2009-01-26)
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)
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)
