This study shows OPN3 promotes lipofuscin accumulation in keratinocytes under blue light and its loss reduces proteomic stress responses and lipofuscin formation.

This study shows that DMMB-induced photodamage causes transcriptomic changes similar to autophagy inhibition and persistent mitochondrial dysfunction.

This study shows red light stimulates mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation in keratinocytes via AMPK activation, unlike UV or blue/green light which cause toxicity or metabolic disruption.

This study examines how acute and chronic blue light exposure affects human keratinocytes, finding increased proliferation, chromatin changes, and transcriptional shifts resembling malignant transformation.

This study shows that oxidized plasmalogens generate excited triplet carbonyls and electrophilic lipid species, revealing their prooxidant properties.
