Indoor Tanning and Melanoma Risk: Molecular and Epidemiological Evidence
Melanoma is a highly lethal form of skin cancer. It is mainly caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced DNA damage in melanocytes. While sunlight is the most common source of UV exposure, artificial UV from indoor tanning beds has emerged as a main and preventable risk factor. Epidemiological studies have continuously shown that tanning bed use […]
From Womb to World: The Impact of Prenatal PM2.5 Exposure on Birth Weight
One of the leading causes of newborn death, as well as complications related to their health later in life, is low birth weight. Such risks are not limited to preterm births. Full-term infants can also be small for their gestational age, indicating that factors beyond the length of pregnancy influence fetal development. Pregnancy-related environmental exposures […]
