open access: yesAustralasian Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cutaneous melanomas arise through a number of causal pathways, all of which involve exposure to sunshine or artificial ultraviolet (UV) radiation to some extent. Their initiation also depends on host factors that determine susceptibility to melanoma, and whether the UV exposure is intermittent or chronic.

Effects of Common Food Additives Kappa‐, Iota‐ and Lambda‐Carrageenans on Intestinal Epithelial Cell Activation and Barrier Disruption

open access: yesClinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
Carrageenans, widely used food additives, disrupted intestinal epithelial integrity in a gut‐on‐a‐chip model. All types (κ‐, ɩ‐, λ‐) induced cytotoxicity, inflammation and tight junction (TJ) disruption, triggering TNF‐mediated immune responses. λ‐Carrageenan had the most severe effects, supporting the Epithelial Barrier Theory linking food additives ...
