Recurrent melanoma may be more common than previously thought
Approximately 8 percent of patients with melanoma skin cancer may develop an additional melanoma within two years of their initial diagnosis, and those with atypical moles appear to be at higher risk.   view more (2006-04-18)

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)

The National Radiological Protection Board advises holiday makers against overexposure to high sunlight
The incidence of skin cancer in the UK has significantly increased in recent years. There are now over 40,000 new cases and nearly 2,000 deaths from skin cancer in the UK each year. Much of this increase has been attributed to overexposure to sunlight not only when abroad but also sunbathing at... view more (2003-05-27)

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... view more (2007-05-22)

Looking to nature for better sunscreens wins Kaye Prize for Hebrew University graduate student
While the general public has become more conscious of the need for protecting against sunburn in recent years, the incidence of skin cancer has continued to rise? Why this anomaly? Because while existing sunscreen lotions do protect against sunburn, they do not provide protection for the more... view more (2004-06-07)

New Company To Develop Next-Generation Sunscreens
SCIENTISTS are using world-first technology to develop the next generation of sunscreens. A new company, DNAcare Systems, is to be formed at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, based on research by skin cancer expert Dr Mark Birch-Machin and colleagues. It intends to design a new type of... view more (2004-07-07)

What gives us sunburn protects crayfish against bacteria
The production of melanin gives us sunburns, but it also helps invertebrate animals to encapsulate attacking fungi and parasites.   view more (2007-09-25)

Sunlight prevents cancer - SunSmart recommendations risk health
The health of the public is being put at risk by recommendations to cover up and stay out of the sun in the UK. These recommendations, which are part of Cancer Research UK's SunSmart programme, increase the risk of several types of cancer, and may also increase deaths from melanoma, the most... view more (2005-03-22)

Ultraviolet B light exposure associated with increased risk of skin cancer
A decreased ability to repair chromosomal damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation in test tubes may be associated with an increased risk of the common skin cancers basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, but not of melanoma.   view more (2005-12-21)

Women with breast cancer have less dermatitis when treated with IMRT
All women treated with radiation therapy for breast cancer are at risk of developing dermatitis-a sometimes-painful skin condition caused by radiation as it makes its way through the skin to the tumor area and tissue within the breast.   view more (2007-10-29)

Sunburn alert: UVB does more damage to DNA than UVA
As bombs burst in air this July 4, chances are that sunburn will be the red glare that most folks see - and feel. But unfortunately, even when there is no burn, the effects of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can have deadly consequences.   view more (2008-07-01)

Does too much sun cause melanoma?
We are continuously bombarded with messages about the dangers of too much sun and the increased risk of melanoma (the less common and deadliest form of skin cancer), but are these dangers real, or is staying out of the sun causing us more harm than good?   view more (2008-07-23)

Even seaweeds get sunburned
It is red, it burns and itches: a sunburn on our skin. However, too much sun is not only bad for humans. Many plants react sensitively to an increased dose of ultraviolet radiation, too. Yet they are dependent on sunlight.   view more (2008-08-25)

U of M researchers find new, more effective treatment for toxic shock syndrome
Researchers at the University of Minnesota and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a new therapeutic that neutralizes Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) more effectively than other treatments.   view more (2007-05-22)

Ozone levels drop when hurricanes are strengthening
Scientists are continually exploring different aspects of hurricanes to increase the understanding of how they behave. Recently, NASA-funded scientists from Florida State University looked at ozone around hurricanes and found that ozone levels drop as a hurricane is intensifying.   view more (2005-06-08)

FSU meteorologists' work may lead to better tracking of hurricanes
Scientists are continually exploring different aspects of hurricanes to increase the understanding of how they behave. Recently, two NASA-funded scientists from Florida State University analyzed ozone levels surrounding hurricanes. Their work could lead to better methods of forecasting the paths of... view more (2005-06-09)

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)

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)

Marathon runners may be at increased risk for skin cancer
In an Austrian study, marathon runners had more atypical moles and other skin lesions suggestive of a risk for skin cancer than did a comparison group of age- and sex-matched controls.   view more (2006-11-21)

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)

Thanks to ESA, KNMI offers a UV forecasting Service
A unique new service which harnesses satellite data to powerful high-speed computing could soon lead to much improved weather forecasts and help make basking in the sun a lot safer. The "fast ozone profile" service developed by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) within the ESA... view more (2001-03-26)

Gender linked to development of skin cancer
Inherent gender differences - instead of more sun exposure - may be one reason why men are three times more likely than women to develop certain kinds of skin cancer, say researchers at Ohio State University Medical Center.   view more (2007-04-02)

Designed peptides: Candidates for the treatment of cancer, sexual dysfunction, eating disorders
Chemists at the University of Arizona have developed modified versions of naturally occurring peptide hormones that could be key to novel treatments of a variety of diseases, including eating disorders (anorexia, obesity), diabetes, sexual dysfunction and skin cancer.   view more (2005-09-01)

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)
