Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) semiconductor lasers are highly sought for medical, biotechnology, and precision manufacturing applications; however, previous UV-B laser diodes were limited to pulsed operation ...

Now researchers in Japan have reported the world’s first continuous-wave UV-B semiconductor laser diode operating at room temperature on a low-cost sapphire substrate. This breakthrough by researchers ...

It was found that adding NB-UVB light therapy to ruxolitinib (Opzelura) 1.5% cream helped many vitiligo patients who did not respond early to treatment achieve faster and more noticeable skin ...

Excimer light is a subtype of NB-UVB that emits a 308 nm wavelength, and can provide targeted phototherapy treatment. The absorption of 308 nm light by skin cells leads to therapeutic response in ...

ADJUNCTIVE narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy may help restore clinical response in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis who experience secondary failure to adalimumab, according to a ...

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease that manifests itself mainly with skin symptoms (dryness, itching, scaly skin, abnormal patches and plaques). It affects about 2% of the population and is mediated ...

Ultraviolet light therapy may help reduce inflammation and disease severity in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to data from a small Phase 1 clinical trial. Researchers used Octave’s MS ...

Ruxolitinib cream shows promising results in repigmenting vitiligo lesions, enhancing skin appearance and quality of life with a strong safety profile. A three-month course of twice-daily ruxolitinib ...

A light-converting microneedle patch (EU-MN) delivers targeted intradermal UV phototherapy by releasing upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and the photosensitizer MOP in response to skin conditions, ...

Ruxolitinib cream shows rapid, significant repigmentation in NSV, aligning with phase 3 trial outcomes and suggesting first-line therapy potential, especially for facial involvement. The study's ...

VITILIGO is a common autoimmune skin disorder characterised by pigment loss, leading to visible white patches on the face and extremities. Beyond its physical impact, vitiligo often disrupts social ...
