The area of human skin photobiology delves into the intricate and dynamic relationship between human skin and light. Light, encompassing ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, sunlight, and artificial light sources, plays a crucial role in the complex biology of the skin. Understanding the effects of light on human skin is essential for advancing preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies for photobiological-related skin disorders.
This Research Topic aims to address current challenges and recent advances in human skin photobiology, exploring the potential impacts of light on various aspects of skin health. We seek to investigate the underlying mechanisms of photobiological interactions, identify knowledge gaps, and facilitate the development of evidence-based practices in this field.
This Research Topic invites contributions that cover a wide range of themes within human skin photobiology. Specific areas of interest include the effects of ultraviolet and visible light on skin physiology and pathology, the role of infrared radiation in skin aging and healing, the impact of sunlight and artificial light sources on skin health, advances in phototherapy and photodynamic therapy, photoprotection strategies, the relationship between light
and skin cancer and photocarcinogenesis, and the understanding and management of photodermatoses. Additionally, the topic explores the local and systemic effects that light exerts through the skin.
Join us in advancing the understanding of human skin photobiology through high-quality research, innovative methodologies, clinical studies, challenging cases, and insightful discoveries. Together, we can shed light on the intricate interplay between human skin and light, paving the way for improved preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic approaches. We welcome contributions from researchers of diverse backgrounds, geographic locations, and scientific disciplines, demonstrating our commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and excellence in photobiology research.
We welcome submissions of the following article types: Brief Research Report, Case Report, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis & Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Review, Systematic Review.
Keywords:
Human skin, Photobiology, Ultraviolet radiation, Visible light, Infrared radiation, Sunlight, Artificial light sources, Phototherapy, Photodynamic therapy, Photoprotection, Skin cancer, Photoaging, Photodermatoses
