The interactions between the sun and the skin have both beneficial and harmful aspects. While the sun provides important positive effects, there are also serious harmful consequences to consider, particularly from ultraviolet radiation, commonly referred to as UV-A and UV-B. To mitigate these harmful effects, the topical application of sunscreens and the avoidance of extreme sun exposure are widely recognized as the most effective strategies to prevent sunburn and skin edema. Additionally, this approach can efficiently reduce the risk of developing skin cancer.The primary aim of sunscreen products is to minimize the damage caused by sun exposure while maintaining good...

Research Summary: Stem cells are precursor cells present in many tissues with the ability to differentiate into various types of cells. This interesting property of plasticity can have therapeutic implications, and there has been substantial research in this field over the last few decades. As a result, stem cell therapy is now used as a therapeutic modality in many conditions, and it has made its way into dermatology as well. Stem cells can be classified based on their source and differentiating capacity. In the skin, they are present in the inter-follicular epidermis, hair follicle, dermis, and adipose tissue, helping to...

To address this, stem cell-derived cell-free therapies have emerged as an alternative, backed by promising preclinical findings. The key components in cell-free therapy from stem cells are stem cell secretomes and extracellular vesicles (EVs). However, comprehensive reviews on the mechanisms of such treatments for...
