Background: The X-rays and the visible light are the main source of ultraviolet radiation (UVR). About 90% of ultraviolet B (UVB) is absorbed by the cornea which may promote corneal inflammation, oedema and damage of its epithelial layer. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) have been demonstrated to ameliorate the injured corneal tissue and accelerate its wound healing.

Genome lesions trigger biological responses that help cells manage damaged DNA, improving cell survival. Pol eta is a translesion synthesis (TLS) polymerase that bypasses lesions that block replicative polymerases, avoiding continued stalling of replication forks, which could lead to cell death. p53 also plays an important role in preventing cell death after ultraviolet (UV) light exposure.

Background And Objective: Ultraviolet (UV)-irradiated 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) and vitamin E (VitE)-coated titanium (Ti) implants have a beneficial effect on bone cells. Human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) are the most abundant cells in periodontal tissues and are involved in the wound healing and repair. The objective of this study was to evaluate the response of HGFs to Ti implants coated with UV-irradiated 7-DHC and VitE, for improved soft-tissue integration of dental implants.

Background: Although dermokine-β, a glycoprotein expressed in epithelial cells, does not have significant homology to other proteins, its carboxyl-terminal domain shares a high pI value with many cytokines, suggesting similar functions.
Objective: To better understand the biology of dermokine, we here determined its localization under pathological conditions and examined factors that regulate its expression.
Methods: We generated an anti-human dermokine-β/γ monoclonal antibody cross-reacting with the mouse protein.

Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been associated with several acute and chronic conditions, including sunburn, edema, hyperplasia, immunosuppression, photoaging, and skin cancer. The role of naturally occurring phytochemicals in the prevention of such UV-related conditions has captured increased interest. Pomegranate ( Punica granatum L.
