Exposure to UV irradiation results in abnormal, extensive apoptosis of skin cells. This excessive cell death can promote inflammation and alter the microenvironment, increasing the risk of skin cancer. Despite extensive research, few materials are effective at simultaneously protecting against both UVA and UVB irradiation.

- Probiotics may have potential benefits in promoting hair growth and managing dandruff, as indicated by a comprehensive review of various studies.
- Meta-analyses showed a significant effect on hair thickness and follicle count, while effects on overall hair count and certain dandruff parameters were less clear.
- Key molecular pathways like Wnt/β-catenin and VEGF are involved in the mechanisms by which probiotics might influence hair health.
Background: Recent developments in addressing dental aesthetic concerns, encompassing issues like teeth discoloration and halitosis, underscore the demand for safer alternative solutions.
Purpose: This study aims to confirm the effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from kimchi on artificial teeth bleaching and their potential impact in terms of preventing halitosis-related bacteria.
Materials And Methods: To evaluate the antimicrobial effects against oral pathogens, disc diffusion tests and broth microdilution methods were used.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the growing problem of skin diseases caused by MRSA and explores alternative therapies using lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from human milk.
- Among 26 screened bacteria, strain HM20 showed significant antibacterial activity against MRSA and was identified through genetic sequencing.
- The findings indicated that HM20’s antimicrobial properties stem from its production of organic acids, hydrogen peroxide, and bacteriocins, which damaged the cell walls of the bacteria tested, suggesting its potential for treating antibiotic-resistant skin infections.
Background: Jawoongo is used to treat and prevent skin issues such as dry and keratinization disorders, burns, trauma, pigmentation, scarring, and inflammatory skin conditions. In this study, the efficacy and safety of 0.47% Jawoongo extract-containing soap (JAUN-CS) were assessed in terms of skin improvement effects such as cleansing, moisturizing, sebum secretion management, and skin elasticity enhancement.

One of the most demonstrative symptoms is deep wrinkles induced by skin barrier disruption. Our previous research showed that Phaseolus angularis seed extract (PASE) effectively inhibits skin ageing through UVB protection in HaCaT cells by suppressing skin damage.
