Feasibility study for a possible therapy of bacterial keratitis by UVB irradiation
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2023 Bacterial keratitis is a widespread disease in which bacteria have infected the cornea. This can lead to blindness and should be treated immediately after diagnosis. However, antibiotics do not reach pathogens inside the cornea.

Irradiance-dependent UVB Photocarcinogenesis [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractUltraviolet B (UVB) radiation from the sun may lead to photocarcinogenesis of the skin. Sunscreens were used to protect the skin by reducing UVB irradiance, but sunscreen use did not reduce sunburn episodes. It was shown that UVB-induced erythema depends on surface exposure but not irradiance of UVB. We previously showed that irradiance plays a

Protective effects of Centella asiatica leaf extract cream on IL-1a expression and sunburn cells in BALB/c mice induced by UVB [PDF]
Scripta MedicaBackground/Aim: UVB radiation can induce DNA damage in keratinocyte cells, leading to increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) triggered by the release of proinflammatory cytokine IL-1a and apoptosis (sunburn) of keratinocyte cells.

Temporal trends in satellite-derived erythemal UVB and implications for ambient sun exposure assessment [PDF]
, 2017 Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) has been associated with various health outcomes, including skin cancers, vitamin D insufficiency, and multiple sclerosis. Measurement of UVR has been difficult, traditionally relying on subject recall.
