GLP-1 receptor agonists may have potential applications as adjunct therapy for PsO, AD, HS, chronic wounds, and other skin conditions.

Ampyrone increases pigmentation in a human 3D epidermal model, The top row shows visible epidermal darkening after treatment every other day with ampyrone for 21 days as compared to negative control. The bottom row shows magnification of epidermal cells revealing increased melanin synthesis in the ampyrone treated melanocytes as compared to negative control. Positive control is alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (αMSH) plus beta-fibroblast growth factor (βFGF). Photo by Dr.

Photo by Ali Haider / Hiroshima University An international team led by researchers at Hiroshima University has developed a new way to detect subtle, early-stage changes in human skin collagen before any visible signs of damage appear. In the study, published in ACS Na

Immune trajectory shifts in the pre- to post-radiotherapy (RT) tumour microenvironment in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Courtesy of Alan Zhou, MD, ‘21 MSc. Researchers have discovered how radiotherapy alters the immune environment within cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) tumours, according to findings published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. The study reveals how radiotherapy not only eliminates cancer cells but also reprograms the surrounding tumour micro
