Chronic ultraviolet (UV) exposure induces photoaging and oxidative stress in the skin. We investigated whether Machilus thunbergii Sieb et Zucc (M. thunbergii) could reduce UV-induced photoaging and oxidative stress in hairless mice. The dorsal skin of hairless mice was treated topically with M. thunbergii for 2 h prior to UV irradiation. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were then measured in skin and/or serum samples. Histological changes in the skin were assessed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. In addition, proteomes from the skin of hairless mice in each group were analyzed. The thickness of the dorsal skin and epidermis was significantly decreased by M. thunbergii treatment. We also found that MDA levels decreased after M. thunbergii treatment and the SOD levels were increased by M. thunbergii compared with those in the UV-only treated group. Proteomic analysis revealed 17 proteins associated with photoaging. These data indicate that M. thunbergii might have antiphotoaging effects.

Purpose: To evaluate the molecular evolution of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress during colorectal cancer carcinogenesis.
Methods: Fifty-six hairless mice were divided into two groups: control (no intervention); and carcinogenesis (treated with two doses of azoxymethane at 10 mg/kg during the third and the fourth week and dextran sodium sulfate at 2.5% for seven days in the second, fifth, and eighth week).
Comparative toxicity study of hyaluronic acid fillers crosslinked with 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether or poly (ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether.

Dermal fillers comprising injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) are widely used for soft tissue augmentation, often using crosslinking agents such as 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) or poly (ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDE). Here, we assessed the physical properties, toxicity, and inflammatory reactions of HA fillers crosslinked with either BDDE (HA-BDDE filler) or PEGDE (HA-PEGDE filler) in in vitro and in vivo investigations. The HA-PEGDE filler exhibited higher G', tan δ, G*, and complex viscosity values compared to the HA-BDDE filler, while maintaining similar cohesivity.

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).

Commonly used adenine-induced chronic kidney disease (CKD) murine models often employ C57BL/6 mice; however, this strain has inherent limitations due to its natural resistance to developing key pathological features of CKD, such as tubulointerstitial fibrosis and inflammation. There have been attempts to overcome these barriers by using multiple concentrations of adenine-supplemented diets or by performing prolonged experiments up to 20 weeks. Here, we demonstrate that SKH1 Elite mice develop clinically relevant CKD phenotypes (e.

Background: The increased incidence of androgenic alopecia (AGA) causes adverse physiological and psychological effects on people of all genders. The hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) have displayed clinical improvements on AGA. However, the molecular mechanism of HFSCs against AGA remains elusive.
