Comparative efficacy of 1064 nm Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser and microneedling in treating atrophic acne scars: a retrospective study

 Published on 20/04/2026 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Ayris Ozturk et al. | Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy 2026; aop:10.1080/14764172.2026.2651542

Acne scars, stemming from collagen irregularities in acne vulgaris, pose psychosocial challenges. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of 1064 nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (QSNL) and microneedling for atrophic acne scars. Methods: A retrospective study at Ege University included 30 patients...

Cardiomyocyte derived extracellular mitochondria in activation of macrophages during oxidative stress

 Published on 13/04/2026 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Lenee Shrestha et al. | Cardiovascular Research. Volume 122(5).

Mitochondria serve as central hubs for aerobic metabolism and regulators of cell fate. Damage to mitochondria induced by oxidative stress contributes to cardiac injury. We investigate whether oxidative stress causes the release of mitochondria into the extracellular space and whether these extracellular...

Removal of volatile organic compounds by chemical filters significantly inhibited the development of atopic dermatitis symptoms in mice: potential implications for air-conditioning systems in healthcare environments

 Published on 23/03/2026 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Chiharu Ohira et al. | Toxicological Sciences. Volume 209(3).

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are increasingly implicated in systemic diseases, but their contribution to skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis (AD) remains unclear. This study assessed VOC concentrations in medical environments, their effects on AD development, and the efficacy of VOC removal...
