The routine and often unavoidable exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation makes it one
of the most significant environmental DNA-damaging agents to which humans are exposed …

DNA is one of the prime molecules, and its stability is of utmost importance for proper
functioning and existence of all living systems. Genotoxic chemicals and radiations exert …

Emphasis is placed in this review article on recent aspects of the photochemistry of cellular
DNA in which both the UVB and UVA components of solar radiation are implicated …

Solar UV radiation is the most important environmental factor involved in the pathogenesis
of skin cancers. The well known genotoxic properties of UVB radiation (290–320 nm) mostly …

DNA is taken as the target for skin cancer induced by ultraviolet light, and the known data on
the sensitivity of DNA as a function of wavelength are summarized. The sun's spectrum at …

UV light is one of a number of emerging non-thermal food processing technologies that can
be used in a broad range of applications producing food products with longer shelf-life, more …

The survey focuses on recent aspects of photochemical reactions to cellular DNA that are
implicated through the predominant formation of mostly bipyrimidine photoproducts in …

There is an abundant literature about the biological and physiological effects of UV-B light
and the signaling and metabolic pathways it triggers and influences. Much less is known …

DNA damage, such as formation of single strand breaks and pyrimidine dimers was induced
in yeast cells after irradiation by pulsed light, which were essentially the same as observed …

In order to better understand the relative contribution of the different UV components of
sunlight to solar mutagenesis, the distribution of the bipyrimidine photolesions, cyclobutane …
