The primary function of the skin is to act as a barrier against insults from the environment,
and its unique structure reflects this. The skin is composed of two layers: the epidermal outer …

UV-induced DNA damage plays a key role in the initiation phase of skin cancer. When left
unrepaired or when damaged cells are not eliminated by apoptosis, DNA lesions express …

This review article focuses on a critical survey of the main available information on the UVB
and UVA oxidative reactions to cellular DNA as the result of direct interactions of UV …

Daily skin exposure to solar radiation causes cells to produce reactive oxygen species
(ROS), which are a primary factor in skin damage. Although the contribution of the UV …

Until recently, the primary focus of photobiology has centered on the impact of UV radiation
on skin health, including DNA damage and oncogenesis; however, the significant effects of …
