Background: Studies have begun to investigate the complex relationship between host and microorganisms in non-infectious pathologies such as acne, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Though the skin is exposed to environmental stressors such as ultraviolet radiation (UVR), no studies exist examining the effects of both UVA and UVB on the skin microbiome.
Objective: To test the effect of UVA and UVB on human skin microbiome.
Methods: To test whether UV will alter the cutaneous microbiome, participants were exposed to doses of UVA (22-47 J/cm ) or UVB (100-350 mJ/cm ) and samples were collected. DNA was isolated and sequenced to identify the microbial composition of each sample.
Results: There was vast intra- and inter-subject variation at all time points, and phylum and species-level differences were identified. These included an increase in the phylum Cyanobacteria and a decrease in the family Lactobacillaceae and Pseudomonadaceae. The sensitivity of microbes to UVR and their re-colonization potential following exposure differed in UVA vs UVB samples.
Limitations: The sample size was small, and the study was limited to males.
Conclusion: The results demonstrate that UVR has profound qualitative and quantitative influences on the composition of the skin microbiome, possibly effecting skin pathology in which UVR is a factor.

This study evaluated the photoprotective and antioxidant properties of eumelanin derived from Streptomyces lasalocidi NTB 42 (eumelanin NTB 42). This study also investigated the cellular-level photoprotective effects of eumelanin using Schizosaccharomyces pombe ARC039 as a model organism and its ability to enhance the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of commercial sunscreens. The thermal and light stability and total phenolic and flavonoid contents were analyzed.

The effect of ultraviolet (UV) light on structural changes is a significant concern, particularly regarding the weathering and aging effects on microplastics (MPs). This research focused on examining how various UV light wavelengths (UVC, UVB, and UVA) influence the adsorption behavior of aged polyethylene (PE) MPs toward tetracycline (TC). To explore the adsorption mechanism in detail, adsorption kinetics were studied under different UV light wavelengths.

In recent years, concerns regarding the toxicity of organic UV filters in sunscreen products have increased. While sunscreen products contain multiple UV filters in combination, current understanding on their co-occurrence patterns and mixture toxicities is still limited. This study utilized a public database, "Hwahae", and analyzed 2183 sunscreen products marketed in South Korea as of 2019, using an association rule mining (ARM) to elucidate their co-occurrence patterns.

A biomass-based finishing agent (ArCP) rich in nitrogen and phosphorus was synthesized from glucose, arginine and phosphorous acid, which was then used for lyocell fabrics to prepare flame retardant, antibacterial and UV resistant properties lyocell fabrics (ArCP-lyocell). The elemental composition, surface morphology, combustion performance, antibacterial and UV resistant properties for the lyocell fabrics before and after modification were investigated. ArCP-lyocell fabrics showed excellent self-extinguishing properties with a limiting oxygen index (LOI) of 35.

stingless bee propolis extract is known for its diverse bioactive compounds, making it a potential natural shield against UV radiation. This research assesses the photoprotective potential of crude ethanol extract from propolis collected from four structures (involucrum, pillar, pot, and entrance) of five bee hives (H1-H5), totalling 20 samples. Initially, the samples underwent testing for SPF value and UV absorption spectra.
