LPCAT3 as a Potential Drug Target for Ultraviolet Radiation–Induced Cataract: Insights From Multiomics Analysis

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation is a major risk factor for cataract development, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this process, particularly the involvement of regulated cell death pathways such as ferroptosis, remain unclear. Transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses were performed on lens tissues from UVB‐induced cataract rat ...

A randomized comparison of selective broadband UVB and narrowband UVB in the treatment of psoriasis

open access: yes
UVB is widely used to treat psoriasis. Conventional broadband UVB lamps are less effective than narrowband UVB lamps, which have an emission peak at 311 nm. The long-term safety of narrowband UVB phototherapy is uncertain. "Selective" broadband UVB lamps,

Husbandry factors are associated with skin, gastrointestinal and ophthalmic disorders in leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius)

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Research into disorders in captive reptiles is notably sparse in the UK, despite the popularity of various species as pets. This study aimed to survey and investigate risk factors for disorders of leopard geckos in the UK. Methods Medical records for leopard geckos presenting at three veterinary practices between 2019 and 2023 were ...

Plant‐derived nanovesicles as potential drug delivery systems for topical use: Emerging applications in dermatology and cosmetology

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Plant‐derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) are naturally secreted by fruit, vegetables, seeds, leaves and other natural sources. Used as drug delivery systems, they can combine intrinsic therapeutic activity, enhanced skin permeation and cargo‐carrying capacity, suitable for dermatological and cosmetic applications including hydration, antioxidant/anti ...

IL-3 Production as an In Vitro Marker of the Genetically Determined Traits of UVB Susceptibility and UVB Resistance [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The capacity of low-dose ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation to disrupt epidermal Langerhans cell function and to prevent the induction of contact hypersensitivity (CHI) is genetically determined in mice and men.

Subtracting Interferences in X‐Ray Spectra Obtained With Grating Spectrometers

open access: yesX-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Higher order diffraction from surface contamination poses a major challenge for soft x‐ray spectral analysis using reflection zone plate spectrometers in electron probe microanalysis. We developed two correction methods applied to the Al L2,3 and Zn M2,3 emissions in AlZn60 alloy spectra: sequential overlay and subtraction of C Kα and O Kα ...

Harnessing UV radiation for enhanced agricultural production: benefits on nutrition, quality, and sustainability

open access: yesAll Life
Ultraviolet (UV) has a significant impact on the health and development of plants. Depending on the wavelength, UV is divided into three regions according to their wavelengths: UVC (less than 280 nm), UVB (280-315 nm), and UVA (315-400 nm). Although high

Warming and community context drive rapid plant evolution

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Abiotic and biotic factors are important drivers of plant evolution, but how these factors interact to influence plant evolution in multispecies communities is still poorly understood. We performed experimental evolution exposing Brassica rapa plants to a combination of

Beyond thermoregulation: Active behavioural regulation of ultraviolet light exposure by a free‐ranging lizard

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study provides a clear demonstration of active ultraviolet (UV) regulation in free‐ranging lizards and supports that microhabitat choice likely constrains UV regulation more than thermoregulation. Overall, it serves to establish UV as a parallel regulatory axis of physiological homeostasis and expand the range of testable hypotheses in animal ...

Narrow-Band UVB Induces More Carcinogenic Skin Tumors than Broad-Band UVB through the Formation of Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Phototherapy with narrow-band UVB (NB-UVB), with a peak exclusively at 311nm wavelength, has been found to be more effective in treating a variety of skin diseases than conventional broad-band UVB (BB-UVB).
