research Brain and muscle Arnt-like protein-1 (BMAL1) controls circadian cell proliferation and susceptibility to UVB-induced DNA damage in the epidermis

221 citations , July 2012 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America”

This study found that the circadian clock in mouse skin regulates cell proliferation and affects sensitivity to UVB-induced DNA damage, with potential implications for understanding human skin cancer risk.

research Sulforaphane mobilizes cellular defenses that protect skin against damage by UV radiation

184 citations , October 2007 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America”

This study found that sulforaphane-rich broccoli sprout extracts reduced UV-induced erythema by 37.7% in humans, suggesting a protective strategy against UVR damage.

research Inactivation of the Vitamin D Receptor Enhances Susceptibility of Murine Skin to UV-Induced Tumorigenesis

148 citations , May 2008 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study found that mice lacking the vitamin D receptor (VDR) developed skin tumors more rapidly than those with normal VDR activity, regardless of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) presence.

research Left-Right Comparison Study of the Combination of Fluticasone Propionate and UV-A vs Either Fluticasone Propionate or UV-A Alone for the Long-term Treatment of Vitiligo

109 citations , September 1999 in “Archives of Dermatology”

This study found that the combination of fluticasone propionate and UV-A was much more effective for vitiligo repigmentation than either treatment used alone, with no significant adverse effects reported.

research In Human Skin, UVB Initiates Early Induction of IL-10 Over IL-12 Preferentially in the Expanding Dermal Monocytic/Macrophagic Population

101 citations , July 1998 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that UV exposure in human skin induces IL-10 production by macrophages, while Langerhans cells are depleted and their IL-12 production is downregulated.

community UVA researchers discovered stem cells that plays a crucial role in hair growth - We are closer than ever to the cure!

281 upvotes 1 year ago

Researchers at the University of Virginia discovered a new group of stem cells in hair follicles that could potentially restore hair growth. The findings suggest that activating these stem cells might offer a new way to combat hair loss, though practical treatments are still years away.

community Evolution theory: AGA is your body trying to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by exposing your scalp to more UV

in Research/Science 9 months ago

Androgenic alopecia (AGA) might have evolved to reduce prostate cancer risk by increasing UV exposure to the scalp, but this theory is debated. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for AGA, though the exact causes and evolutionary reasons for hair loss are unclear.

community Could male-pattern baldness have a secondary photobiological function? The Solar Window Hypothesis

11 upvotes 2 weeks ago

Male-pattern baldness might increase UVB exposure on the scalp, potentially affecting vitamin D and skeletal health. The hypothesis is debated, with some seeing it as a minor benefit in specific contexts.

community I’ve been on medications for 5 months now

in Treatment 5 upvotes 1 year ago

A user has been using minoxidil, finasteride, derma stamping, and keto shampoo for hair loss for 5 months, noticing baby hairs but no thickening. Another user suggests trying topical magnesium chloride with UV light as an additional treatment.
