Daily blue-light exposure shortens lifespan and causes brain neurodegeneration in Drosophila

October 17, 2019
Published: 17 October 2019  Abstract: Light is necessary for life, but prolonged exposure to artificial light is a matter of increasing health concern. Humans are exposed to increased amounts of light in the blue spectrum produced by light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which can interfere with normal sleep cycles. The LED technologies are relatively new; therefore, the long-term...

Can Light Emitted from Smartphone Screens and Taking Selfies Cause Premature Aging and Wrinkles?

January 1, 2019
J Biomed Phys Eng. 2018 Dec; 8(4): 447–452. Published online 2018 Dec 1. Abstract Since the early days of human life on the Earth, our skin has been exposed to different levels of light. Recently, due to inevitable consequences of modern life, humans are not exposed to adequate levels of natural light during the day...

Blue Light Induces Down-Regulation of Aquaporin 1, 3, and 9 in Human Keratinocytes.

January 1, 2019
Abstract Published online 2018 Nov 3. doi: 10.3390/cells7110197 The development in digital screen technology has exponentially increased in the last decades, and many of today’s electronic devices use light-emitting diode (LED) technology producing very strong blue light (BL) waves. Long-term exposure at LED-BL seems to have an implication in the dehydration of the epidermis, in the...
