AI Article Synopsis
- Solar radiation causes skin changes that lead to photoaging, but sunscreen can protect against these effects.
- A study involving 11 female volunteers measured skin properties over 6 months to compare sun-exposed and sun-protected skin using various noninvasive probes.
- Results indicated significant differences in hydration, melanin, and erythema, showing that sunscreen use can help prevent signs of premature aging from sun exposure.
Article Abstract
Solar radiations trigger the physiological alteration in skin which progress toward photoaging. Sunscreens are known to be effective against the photodamaging effects of sunlight. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent to which aging signs caused by real-life sunlight exposure could be avoided by comparing various parameters between sun-exposed and sun-protected skin using noninvasive probes. Female volunteers (n = 11) after getting their consent were provided with marketed sunscreen product to apply onto their skin for 6 months. Measurements were scheduled every 15 days from the baseline reading for 6 months. Cutometer, Mexameter and Corneometer were used for evaluation of facial skin parameters. Clinical evaluations showed the effects of sunlight exposure on different skin parameters by comparing sun-protected and unprotected skin, where Gross elasticity (R2), Net elasticity (R5), Viscoelasticity (R6) and Biological elasticity (R7) showed insignificant results, while Hydration, Melanin and Erythema showed significant results. Sun-exposed skin presented 0.72%, 0.66%, 0.77%, 1.39%, 1.99%, 2.01% and 3.15% changes in R2, R5, R6 and R7, melanin, erythema and hydration, respectively, which were potentially prevented by sunscreen application. Premature aging is inhibited by following photoprotective regimen on routine basis, emphasizing the potential benefit of sunscreen against early aging signs.

Vanin-1 is a pantetheine hydrolase that plays a key role in inflammatory diseases. Effective tools for noninvasive, real-time monitoring of Vanin-1 are lacking, largely due to background fluorescence interference in existing probes. To address this issue, we developed a dual-modal fluorescent and colorimetric probe, MB-Van1, to detect Vanin-1 with high sensitivity and selectivity.

Accurate identification of cancer cells under complex physiological environments holds great promise for noninvasive diagnosis and personalized medicine. Herein, we developed dual-aptamer-based DNA logic-gated series lamp probes (Apt-SLP) by coupling a DNA cell-classifier (DCC) with a self-powered signal-amplifier (SSA), enabling rapid and sensitive identification of cancer cells in a blood sample. DCC is endowed with two extended-aptamer based modules for recognizing the two cascade cell membrane receptors and serves as a DNA logic gate to pinpoint a particular and narrow subpopulation of cells from a larger population of similar cells.

Background: A growing body of research has confirmed the presence of epigenetic alterations in Alzheimer's disease (AD). While the causal relationship between these changes and AD remains uncertain, they offer a novel avenue to explore potential treatments. In this study, we aimed at characterising the methylation signatures of amyloid beta (Aβ) deposition, one of the main hallmarks of AD.

Reductase expression is a potential indicator of cellular pathology. Single-detection systems for reductases have been developed, however, the development of dual-detection systems remain largely unexplored. We rationally designed a dual-lock fluorescent probe that exhibited a high signal-to-noise ratio with a fluorescence Off-On response exclusively for the simultaneous activity of two reductases, NTR and hNQO1, which are overexpressed in cancer hypoxia.

Current immunoassays, such as single molecule array (SIMOA) and mesoscale multi-array (MSD), face limited adoption due to their reliance on specialized equipment. Additionally, they require immobilization of probe reagents and a washing process, demanding tens of thousands of proteins to achieve the Limit of Detection (LOD), leading to the requirement of high sample volume and high affinity antibodies for fg/mL sensitivity.
