UVA1 radiation attenuates pro‐inflammatory functions in human monocytes
Abstract UVA1 therapy is effective in the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune skin diseases. The mode of action of UVA1 therapy is not completely understood and especially data on cells of the innate immune system like monocytes, which are critically involved in many inflammatory processes, are sparse. We wanted to answer the question whether UVA1

Formation of Antigenic Quinolone Photoadducts on Langerhans Cells Initiates Photoallergy to Systemically Administered Quinolone in Mice [PDF]
Quinolone antibacterial agents are well known to cause photoallergy as a side-effect. Murine photoallergy to fluoroquinolones is a T cell-mediated immune response, evoked either by systemic fluoroquinolone and subsequent exposure of skin to ultraviolet A

Enhanced mechanical heterogeneity of cell collectives due to temporal fluctuations in cell elasticity [PDF]
Cells are dynamic systems characterized by temporal variations in biophysical properties such as stiffness and contractility. Recent studies show that the recruitment and release of actin filaments into and out of the cell cortex - a network of proteins underneath the cell membrane - leads to cell stiffening prior to division and softening immediately ...
