In wound healing, individual cells' behaviors coordinate movement toward the wound center
to restore small or large barrier defects. The migration of epithelial cells as a continuous …

Skin is one of the indispensable organs for life. The epidermis at the outermost surface
provides a permeability barrier to infectious agents, chemicals, and excessive loss of water …

Red light (600–700 nm,∼ 2.1–1.8 eV) consists of a low-energy radiation with a high
capacity to penetrate the skin and to induce stimulatory effects. These characteristics make …

Abstract Background/Purpose We previously demonstrated that irradiation with red light
accelerates recovery of the epidermal water‐impermeable barrier, whereas blue light delays …

Transepidermal potential (TEP), an electrical potential difference of tens of millivolts that is
generated along the thickness direction of the epidermis, is a possible indicator of epidermal …

Dendritic cells (DCs) can form a T cell niche in tumor microenvironment and drive T cell
proliferation through immunostimulatory ligands. However, hypoxia severely hinders the …

In this paper, the photodynamic effect of a ternary nanocomposite (TiO 2-Ag/graphene) on
Escherichia coli bacteria and two human cell lines: A375 (melanoma) and HaCaT …

Introduction: While a wound caused by a minor cutaneous incision routinely heals in a short
time, wounds from major surgical operations might need numerous days to heal and may …

Objectives Exposure to light-at-night (LAN) has been reported to impair blood glucose
regulation. The liver modulates blood glucose through mechanisms influenced by several …

Exposure to the sun is unavoidable in daily life. Ultra-violet radiations are the major
component of sunlight and play a significant role in damaging the skin. They induce many …
