Amentoflavone mitigates UVB-induced epidermal photoaging by antagonizing PAR2-driven PI3K/Akt/FoxO6 oxidative-stress signaling.
Free radical biology & medicine · 2026
Escalating surface ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation accelerates skin photoaging and underscores the need for safe, plant-derived photoprotectants. Amentoflavone (AF), the principal biflavonoid of the resurrection plant Selaginella tamariscina, has recognized anti-photoaging activity, yet its epidermal mechanism remains undefined. This study utilized animal and cellular models to investigate the… Read on PubMed →
Ethanolic Extract of Padina arborescens Suppresses Melanogenesis and Attenuates UVB-Induced Photodamage in Cellular and Zebrafish Models.
International journal of molecular sciences · 2026
Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation induces complex skin damage, including hyperpigmentation, oxidative stress, and alterations in proteins related to keratinocyte differentiation and epidermal barrier-associated status. This study investigated the multifunctional protective effects of Padina arborescens ethanolic extract (PAEE) against skin damage in melanocytes, keratinocytes, and zebrafish. In… Read on PubMed →
Histopathological evaluation of facial melasma treated with oral tranexamic acid alone and in combination with ketotifen.
Anais brasileiros de dermatologia · 2026
BACKGROUND: Tranexamic Acid (TA) has demonstrated effectiveness on melasma treatment, and Ketotifen (KET) may inhibit mast cell-mediated melanogenesis. The histologic basis of their depigmenting effects remains unclear. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate histopathological changes from TA with KET over a 3-month treatment. METHODS: In this randomized, double-blind trial, 50 women with facial melasma were… Read on PubMed →
