Epidermoid carcinomas, clinically and histologically similar to human squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), were obtained in hairless Skh-1 mice. Tumor cells originated from chemically-induced skin cancers. We developed three models of orthotopic skin tumors: (1) intradermal injection of a tumor cell suspension, (2) superficial abrasion of the skin, cell grafting and application of a hydrocolloid dressing, (3) skin incision, seeding and application of a hydrocolloid dressing. Intradermal injection was 100% successful. Skin incision, displaying histological evidence of rapid invasive tumor growth, was 75% successful. Though skin tumor growth after abrasion was only 20% successful, the tumor histogenesis exactly imitated human SCC development. These carcinomas provide research models for further experiments such as photodynamic therapy or antiangiogenesis therapy.

Background/objective: Ultraviolet (UV) B radiation leads to DNA damage by generating cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). UVB-induced CPDs can also result in immune suppression, which is a major risk factor for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). UVB-induced CPDs are repaired by nucleotide repair mechanisms (NER) mediated by xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A (XPA).

Background: Photoaging, induced by chronic ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure, results in the degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components, leading to skin roughness, wrinkle formation, and reduced elasticity. Recent studies have explored probiotics as potential inhibitors of extrinsic aging, primarily through mechanisms that protect the skin barrier and reduce collagen breakdown.
Methods: This study investigates the anti-photoaging effects of MG5368 ( MG5368) and MG989 ( MG989) in UVB-exposed keratinocytes and an SKH-1 hairless mice model.

Background/objectives: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a primary factor in skin photoaging, leading to wrinkles, reduced elasticity, and pigmentation changes due to damage to cellular DNA, proteins, and lipids. Glycoproteins from sesame cake (SPE) have potential protective effects against UV-induced skin aging. This study investigated the anti-photoaging effects of SPE on UV-induced damage in human keratinocyte HaCaT cells and SKH-1 hairless mice.

Over half of all people diagnosed with cancer receive radiation therapy. Moderate to severe radiation dermatitis occurs in most human radiation patients, causing pain, aesthetic distress, and a negative impact on tumor control. No effective prevention or treatment for radiation dermatitis exists.

In this study, we evaluated the antiphotoaging properties of Planch (ACP) and the molecular mechanisms underlying its ability to prevent UVB-mediated photoaging. Administration of the ethanolic extract of ACP (EEACP) to the dorsal area of hairless mice effectively ameliorated UVB-mediated wrinkle formation, epidermal thickening, and loss of lipid droplets in the epidermis. Additionally, the UVB-induced loss of collagen content in the epidermis was significantly attenuated in mouse skin treated with EEACP.
