Scientists Find a Tattoo–Cancer Link—But It’s Not What You’d Expect

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-09-20 05:25:08

You may have heard lately that tattoos can potentially raise your risk of skin cancer. Recent research might complicate that narrative, however, suggesting that tattoos aren’t as harmful to our skin as assumed. Scientists at the University of Utah led the study, published last month in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Contrary to their expectations, they found that people who had multiple tattoos actually had a lower associated risk of melanoma. That said, the findings don’t provid

Scientists Intrigued by Cream Designed to Make Old Scars Disappear

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-24 08:08:26

Image by Getty / Futurism Treatments People spend a bundle on hiding or removing old scars, from heavy makeup to laser skin-resurfacing treatments that cost thousands of dollars. They can use topical creams, too, but many products available over the counter don't do anything to lessen bumpy scars like keloids. Intriguingly, though, a team of Australian scientists has found early evidence that a new skin cream could possibly heal those raised scars. In a new paper published in the journal Scie

Jeff Kaufman shared some data around contra dance attendance as a function of requirements on wearing surgical masks. He compares this data to survey data, which is a useful way to validate in both directions. I found the plot compelling for a different reason – depending on how we look at it, we can draw wildly different conclusions from it. On the one hand, if we draw boxes around consecutive pairs of dances, it’s fairly obvious that mask-optional dances are more popular. Tickmarks at the top

Experimental Cream Could Make ‘Permanent’ Scars a Thing of the Past

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-10-06 09:00:17

Cool guys may have scars, but plenty of people would relish the opportunity to get rid of their own. In new research out this week, an experimental drug has shown promise at being able to clear up lingering scar tissue. Scientists in Australia conducted the study, a phase I trial of a tropical cream developed by the company Syntara. People applying the cream experienced no major side effects, they found, and the drug appeared to trigger changes in the skin within older, or mature, scars. Though

Researchers Create 3D-Printed Artificial Skin That Allows Blood Circulation

wired.com Ritsuko Kawai 2025-10-07 16:30:00

When treating severe burns and trauma, skin regeneration can be a matter of life or death. Extensive burns are usually treated by transplanting a thin layer of epidermis, the top layer of skin, from elsewhere on the body. However, this method not only leaves large scars, it also does not restore the skin to its original functional state. Unless the dermis, the layer below the epidermis, which contains blood vessels and nerves, is regenerated, it cannot be considered normal living skin. Now, wor

The Consumer Council tested 30 models of sunscreen for daily use and over 80% of them were found to perform below their respective labelled efficacy.

In an interview with Politico, Skinner claimed that he and his team of volunteers have so far been able to use AI to identify at least 20 ICE agents seen in video recordings that have gone viral of the masked figures arresting people — students, childre

But an equally important, if surprising and less appreciated, forerunner is Skinner’s research with pigeons in the middle of the 20th century.
