Published Boosting the body's anti-viral immune response may eliminate aging cells
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Aging cells express a protein that is produced by human cytomegalovirus and is targeted by certain immune cells in the body. Harnessing the immune response to this protein could have multiple health benefits during aging.
Published Scientists see anti-aging potential in an invasive weed
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source The fruit of the cocklebur plant, which grows worldwide and is often considered a noxious weed, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory components that could make it useful as a skin protectant, according to new research.
Published Studies find that microbiome changes may be a signature for ME/CFS
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have found differences in the gut microbiomes of people with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) compared to healthy controls. Findings from two studies add to growing evidence that connects disruptions in the gut microbiome, the complete collection of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live in our gastrointestinal system, to ME/CFS.
Published Simple laser treatments may help prevent nonmelanoma skin cancer
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source In a study of patients with a history of facial keratinocyte carcinoma, 20.9% of those treated with nonablative fractional lasers experienced a subsequent keratinocyte carcinoma, compared with 40.4% of patients who did not receive laser treatment.
Published In cells, UV-emitting nail polish dryers damage DNA and cause mutations
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source The ultraviolet nail polish drying devices used to cure gel manicures may pose more of a public health concern than previously thought. Researchers studied these ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting devices, and found that their use leads to cell death and cancer-causing mutations in human cells.
Published Scars mended using transplanted hair follicles
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have found that hair follicle transplants can promote scar rejuvenation by altering their architecture and genetic makeup.
Published Researchers develop painless tattoos that can be self-administered
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed low-cost, painless, and bloodless tattoos that can be self-administered and have many applications, from medical alerts to tracking neutered animals to cosmetics.
Published Researchers produce nanodiamonds capable of delivering medicinal and cosmetic remedies through the skin
(via sciencedaily.com) A novel approach provides an innovative solution to overcoming two major challenges in delivering medicinal and cosmetic remedies through the skin. Combining techniques in nanotechnology and optics, researchers produced tiny (nanometric) diamond particles so small that they are capable of penetrating skin to deliver these remedies. Next, they created a safe, laser-based optical method that quantifies nanodiamond penetration into the various layers of the skin and determines their location and concentration within body tissue in a non-invasive manner -- eliminating the need for a biopsy.
Published SARS-CoV-2 can trigger chronic fatigue syndrome, study finds
(via sciencedaily.com) Since the beginning of the pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 has been suspected of causing chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). A well-controlled study has now shown that, even after mild COVID-19, a subset of patients will develop symptoms which meet the diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS. Their findings also describe a second subset of post-COVID patients with similar symptoms. Differences in laboratory results between these groups may indicate differences in underlying mechanisms.
Published Microneedling beats chemical peels for acne scar treatment
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Chemical peels are a common treatment for acne scars, but a new study finds that microneedling is significantly more effective for patients with dark skin.
Published New research provides insight into Long COVID and ME
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have uncovered how post-viral fatigue syndromes, including Long COVID, become life-changing diseases and why patients suffer frequent relapses.
Published How herpesviruses awaken
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Dormant herpesviruses induce their reactivation via a previously unknown cellular mechanism mediated by a viral microRNA.
Published Those with facial scars rate their own appearance more critically than surgeons and strangers
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Patients who undergo facial surgery think their surgical scars look worse than surgeons and independent observers do, according to a new study.
Published New hair dyes avoid allergic reactions
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed a range of permanent hair dyes that avoid the allergenic properties of traditional formulations.
Published Researchers highlight COVID-19 neurological symptoms and need for rigorous studies
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source In a new article, experts highlight what is currently known about the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the brain, the importance of increased research into the underlying causes of Long COVID and possible ways to treat its symptoms.
Published Can we go from scarface to scarless?
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers examined skin regeneration over two years in various body parts of the adult newt, Cynops pyrrhogaster. Their wounds were very quickly healed over several days without prolonged inflammation. Because of this rapid healing, granulation/dermal fibrosis, and therefore scarring, did not occur. The skin was able to fully regenerate. These findings provide evidence that this newt species may be an ideal model system to study and prevent scar formation in human skin.
Published COVID long-haulers may experience abnormal breathing patterns, chronic fatigue syndrome
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Many long-haul COVID-19 patients have chronic fatigue syndrome and other breathing issues months after their initial COVID-19 diagnosis, according to a new study.
Published New drug molecules could prevent skin aging caused by sun exposure
(via sciencedaily.com) Two new molecules that generate minute amounts of the gas hydrogen sulfide have been found to prevent skin from aging after being exposed to ultraviolet light found in sunlight. Sunburn is a major cause of premature aging in skin, and a primary risk factor for skin cancer, and other skin problems associated with aging. Now, an international research team has made inroads towards being able to reverse or delay this damage for the first time.
Published Internal compression stocking helps against varicose veins
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new study finds that rather than destroying or removing defective veins, it is possible to repair them by using a sheath. They are thus saved for later use as a bypass.
Published 3D 'bioprinting' used to create nose cartilage
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A team of University of Alberta researchers has discovered a way to use 3-D bioprinting technology to create custom-shaped cartilage for use in surgical procedures. The work aims to make it easier for surgeons to safely restore the features of skin cancer patients living with nasal cartilage defects after surgery.
