The study adds to previous evidence that risk of non-melanotic invasive skin cancer (NMISC) is increased even four decades after Agent Orange exposure, with at least some exposed veterans having unusually aggressive non-melanoma skin cancers. The lead author was ASPS Member Surgeon Dr. Mark W. ...
2008). Since then, applications of nanoemulsions for probable treatments of different types of cancer by a variety of drugs have been investigated extensively. Nanoemulsion systems have been also studied for transdermal delivery of caffeine as a skin-protecting agent against sun exposure (Shakeel and ...
baltea, showed cancer cell cytotoxicity [47]. Another peptide, phylloseptin-PV1 (PPV1), isolated from P. vaillantii (family: Hydlidae) is found very potential against gram-positive but weaker in the case of gram-negative bacteria [52]. Hyposin (HA) is similar AMP isolated from the skin...
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer, affecting over 3.5 million people in the United States alone. The incidence of skin cancer is steadily increasing in frequency each year; although enhanced leisure time exposure to sunlight has been proposed as a cause, another factor may be an ...
It took the expertise of a highly skilled research team including a toxicologist, a chemist specializing in natural formulations, and doctors to screen every prospective ingredient for any known links to cancer, hormone disruption, or other health risks, as well as for any known potential to cause...
Exposure of human epidermis to sunlight produces melanin, causing a moderate tan effect on the skin to increase the amount of photoprotective pigment. Many epidemiological studies have shown a lower incidence for skin cancer in individuals with high amount of melanin in the skin [13, 155]. Skin...

The neutrophil infiltration after UVB exposure further accelerates the collage fragmentation via the action of proteolytic enzymes [1,9,10]. Excessive ROS activates a variety of cell signaling pathways, altering the expression of genes involved in skin cellular senescence, inflammation, and cancer [9,...
Although sunlight is a risk factor for skin cancer and aging, it has also been related to overall health benefits acting on the cardiovascular and immune systems (Wright and Weller2015). Public health advice has traditionally focussed heavily on the dangers of sunlight exposure, but the most rece...
