Nowe badania pokazują, że korzystanie z solariów niemal trzykrotnie zwiększa ryzyko czerniaka. Tanning beds powodują rozległe mutacje DNA w całej skórze, nawet w miejscach chronionych przed słońcem. Wyniki podkreślają pilną potrzebę ostrzeżeń i regulacji.

Un integratore da banco ha ridotto fino al 54% esordio e recidive di cancro cutaneo in 34mila pazienti osservati. Lo studio pubblicato ieri su JAMA Dermatology rivela che la niacinamide funziona meglio di molte terapie costose. Il meccanismo? Potenzia la riparazione del DNA e blocca l'immunosoppressione da raggi UV. Costo: meno di un caffè al giorno. Efficacia: scientificamente provata dal più ampio dataset mai analizzato.

The ozone hole above Antarctica will keep opening up each spring for decades to come
"The ozone layer is a vital planetary boundary that protects all life on Earth from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet radiation.Ozone depletion is also linked with climate change, and there are other emerging issues which could affect ozone recovery. These include more frequent mega-wildfires due to climate change, emissions from rocket launches and more satellite debris burning up in the upper atmosphere. Recent research shows mega-wildfires such as the Australian bushfires of 2019 can contribute to ozone depletion."

#Marijuana Extract Can Kill #Melanoma Cells, New Study Reveals Possible Treatment For #SkinCancer
Story by Nina Zdinjak
February 8, 2024
"A new study indicates #cannabis has the potential to treat melanoma, a skin cancer beginning in the melanocyte cells, which make the pigment that gives skin its color.
"Melanoma typically results from over-exposure to the sun. While skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States, melanoma accounts for only about 1%, yet causes a large majority of skin cancer deaths, according to the American Cancer Society.
"New research published in a peer-reviewed Cell Journal conducted by scientists from Charles Darwin University (CDU) and RMIT University offers hope for the creation of a natural treatment for melanoma.
"The study, part of a Ph.D. project by RMIT's Dr. Ava Bachari, showed that a specific cannabis extract (#PHEX66) from the #CannabisSativa plant binds to receptor sites on particular melanoma cells, controlling its growth at two key phases and increasing the amount of damage to these cells.
"Dr. Nazim Nassar, the study co-author and CDU pharmaceutical lecturer said this damage practically tricks cells into killing itself, writes Mirage News. This inhibitory effect arises from interactions with #CB1 and #CB2 receptors, the paper reads.
"'The damage to the melanoma cell prevents it from dividing into new cells, and instead begins a programmed cell death, also known as #apoptosis,' Dr. Nassar said. 'This is a growing area of important research because we need to understand cannabis extracts as much as possible, especially their potential to function as anticancer agents. If we know how they react to cancer cells, particularly in the cause of cell death, we can refine treatment techniques to be more specific, responsive and effective'.
"According to Nassar, who specializes in cancer cell biology, pharmacology and drug delivery systems, the next step should be to create a targeted delivery system for the melanoma cells in preparation for pre-clinical trials.
"'Clinical uses of cannabis extracts include treatment for anxiety, cancer-related symptoms, epilepsy, and chronic pain. Intensive research into its potential for killing melanoma cells is only the start as we investigate how this knowledge can be applied to treating different types of cancers,' Nassar said.
"Professor Nitin Mantir, lead author and RMIT biotechnologist, said there needs to be a thorough follow-up to assess the long-term efficiency and safety of the PHEC-66 extract.
"'The subsequent stage involves animal studies or pre-clinical trials to validate and further explore the efficacy of cannabinoid PHEC-66 in treating melanoma and other cancers,' Mantri said.
"Both authors stressed the need for support and sponsorship to eventually qualify PHEC-66 as a registered medicine."

CW: #cancer, feet
I can laugh about it now but this WAS literally me last night... And then I had a nightmare that it WAS #melanoma and I hadn't noticed it in time so it had already metastasized 🙃
Anyway y'all #skinCancer is real, go to a licensed #dermatologist at least every few years and get yourself a full body check. Also look for the ABCDE signs of possible skin cancer: Asymmetrical Shape, irregular Border, changes in Color, Diameter, and Evolving. Go to a reputable site like mayoclinic.org to read more about it, or ideally, ask your #doctor before you try to use #DrGoogle to #selfDiagnose (if you're in a civilized country with #universalHealthcare, or if you're rich enough if you're stuck in a PoS country like the United States where #healthInsurance costs a fortune and even still barely covers any #medicalDebt.#hypochondriac #cyberchondriac #healthScare #healthAnxiety #healthcare #parody

Another dermatologist appointment today, and another biopsy. Positive I want it to be negative. Get yourself checked...
