The range of diagnostic and therapeutic applications of ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation has been continuously expanding. UVA radiation is a well-known mutagenic factor capable of damaging both cells and tissues. At the same time there is a very limited information on long-term consequences of irradiating the skin with different doses of UVA and long-wavelength ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation used in therapies of skin disorders. It was demonstrated that for UVA doses of 0.1 to 1000 mJ/cm2 the sensitivity of the porcine skin to the UVA-induced breaking of nuclear DNA is similar to that of the human skin. Results indicate that porcine skin may serve as a model system for population studies of the deleterious effects of UVA irradiation of the skin cells.

Background: The recently identified swine inflammation and necrosis syndrome (SINS) affects tail, ears, teats, coronary bands, claws and heels of affected individuals. The primarily endogenous syndrome is based on vasculitis, thrombosis, and intimal proliferation, involving defence cells, interleukins, chemokines, and acute phase proteins and accompanied by alterations in clinical chemistry, metabolome, and liver transcriptome. The complexity of metabolic alterations and the influence of the boar led to hypothesize a polygenic architecture of SINS.

Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide, with exposure to UVB radiation being a significant risk factor for its development. To prevent skin cancer, continuous research efforts have focused on finding suitable photoprotective ingredients from natural sources that are also environmentally friendly. This study aimed to develop oil-in-water photoprotective nanoemulsions containing marine macroalgae extract.

Bioequivalence studies of topical formulations have attracted increased interest as the European Medicines Agencies "Guideline on quality and equivalence on locally applied, locally acting cutaneous products" describes them in the context of the approval of generics. Since the guideline only proposes tape stripping as a destructive method for bioequivalence testing in in vitro skin penetration, the aim of this study was to investigate the suitability of confocal Raman spectroscopy (CRS) as a non-destructive alternative. To validate the CRS results, tape stripping and CRS experiments using ketoprofen as a model API were performed consecutively on the same samples of ex vivo porcine skin after frozen storage and compared.
