Article Abstract
Solar lentigines, commonly caused by prolonged ultraviolet exposure, raise the risk of skin disorders and remain challenging to manage due to their complex mechanisms. Understanding the molecular mechanisms driving the progression of solar lentigines is crucial for developing effective protective strategies. In this study, we introduced a novel method, Dynamic Network Driver (DND), which identifies upstream regulators that drive disease progression by integrating the Dynamic Network Biomarker (DNB) approach with network control theory. By applying DND to multi-omics data from solar lentigines subjects, we (1) identified the key drivers associated with solar lentigo progression, with their functions involved in differentiation and dermal-epidermal junction; and (2) highlighted and as significant master factors supported by in vitro validation in melanocytes and pigmented 3D living skin equivalent models. These results demonstrate the potency of DND for uncovering the molecular mechanisms behind solar lentigines and informing therapeutic strategies. In summary, the DND approach identified novel drivers of solar lentigo progression, acting as new markers for spot mitigation in 3D spot mimic models.

Local Recurrence and Survival in Patients With Melanoma In Situ.
JAMA Dermatol
September 2025
First Department of Dermatology-Venereology, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Andreas Sygros Hospital, Athens, Greece.
Importance: The overdiagnosis of melanoma in situ (MIS) is well documented. There is limited evidence on the rate of local recurrence of the non-lentigo maligna (non-LM)/non-acral lentiginous melanoma (non-ALM) subtypes.
Objective: To investigate local recurrence and prognosis in non-LM/non-ALM MIS, the histopathological clearance of the excisional biopsy margins, and the association with the size of wide excision margins.

Melanin overproduction contributes to hyperpigmentation disorders such as melasma and solar lentigines, leading to increasing demand for safe and effective skin-lightening agents. D-cycloserine (DCS), a known antimicrobial agent, has not been previously evaluated for dermatological applications. This study aimed to explore the potential of DCS as a novel anti-melanogenic compound and to elucidate its underlying molecular mechanisms in melanogenesis inhibition.

The relationship between occupational sun exposure and melanoma risk is complex and multifaceted, with existing evidence yielding contradictory findings. Unlike Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC), for which occupational sun exposure is a well-established risk factor, the link with cutaneous melanoma remains contentious. This study aimed to evaluate whether, in a cohort of patients with cutaneous melanoma, an association existed between occupational sun exposure and melanoma, specifically with histotype, site of occurrence, and Breslow index.

Background: Pigmented skin lesions span benign to malignant entities that often appear similar on standard clinical photographs, complicating accurate diagnosis without specialized imaging. Recently, multimodal large language models (MMLLMs) have attracted attention as image-based diagnostic aids and hold promise as decision-support tools in resource-limited settings where dermoscopy may be unavailable.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine whether a fine-tuned MMLLM can accurately classify eight common pigmented skin conditions using only clinical photographs, thereby providing a non-dermoscopic diagnostic support tool.
Low-Level Laser Therapy as an Effective Intervention for Facial Pigmentation: A Case Report of Ephelides and Lentigines in Syrian Women.

Facial pigmentation disorders such as ephelides (commonly known as freckles) and solar lentigines are chronic dermatological conditions associated with sun exposure that can impact cosmetic appearance. This case report presents low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as an effective intervention for two different pigmentary disorders in Syrian women: one with ephelides and another with solar lentigines. The first case involved a 34-year-old woman with Fitzpatrick skin type II presenting with facial ephelides, while the second case featured a 49-year-old woman with Fitzpatrick skin type III diagnosed with solar lentigo.
