Journal ArticleDOI
Nitric oxide and wound repair: role of cytokines?
TL;DR: The history and present state of research on the role of NO in wound healing within the framework of modulation of cytokines is summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skin Cancer: Epidemiology, Disease Burden, Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Therapeutic Approaches
TL;DR: The evidence for the observed increase in the incidence of skin cancer over recent decades is reviewed, and whether this is a true increase or an artefact of greater screening and over-diagnosis is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
UVA Irradiation of Human Skin Vasodilates Arterial Vasculature and Lowers Blood Pressure Independently of Nitric Oxide Synthase
Donald Liu,Bernadette O. Fernandez,Alistair Hamilton,Ninian N. Lang,Julie M C Gallagher,David E. Newby,Martin Feelisch,Richard Weller +7 more
TL;DR: The data provide mechanistic insights into an important function of the skin in modulating systemic NO bioavailability, which may account for the latitudinal and seasonal variations of BP and CVD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitric Oxide Is Generated on the Skin Surface by Reduction of Sweat Nitrate
Richard Weller,Simon Pattullo,Lorna Smith,Michael H. N. Golden,Anthony Ormerod,Nigel Benjamin +5 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that NO generation from skin is dependent on bacterial nitrate reduction to nitrite and subsequent reduction by acidification, and has a physiologic role in the inhibition of infection by pathogenic fungi and other susceptible microorganisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitric oxide: a key mediator in cutaneous physiology
TL;DR: Experiments in which keratinocytes and melanocytes were cocultured show melanogenesis being dependent on keratinocyte‐generated NO, and UVR‐induced guinea pig pigmentation is delayed following application of a NOS antagonist to the skin.
