Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a ubiquitous component of the environment that has important
effects on a wide range of cell functions. Short-wavelength UVB radiation induces sunburn …

Background: Phototherapy is one of the most efficacious treatment options for psoriasis.
New, emerging studies are beginning to define the biologic mechanisms by which …

Ozone depletion leads to an increase in the ultraviolet-B (UV-B) component (280–315 nm)
of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) reaching the surface of the Earth with important …

The skin is increasingly recognized as a component of the innate immune response, in
addition to its role as a physical barrier. Although the deleterious effects of solar ultraviolet …

Melanoma is a clinically heterogeneous disease, and current strategies for treatment of the
primary tumour are based on pathological criteria alone. In the recent past, several DNA …

A single or a limited number of UVR exposures is recognized to suppress cell‐mediated
immunity in human subjects. The complex pathway leading from the absorption of photons …

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) can result in immune suppression to antigens
encountered within a few days of the irradiation. The process leading to the down-regulation …

There are important effects of changes in the intensity of solar UV‐radiation resulting from
stratospheric ozone depletion, particularly UV‐B radiation, on all organisms on the planet …

This study applied dynamic image analysis (DIA; Sympatec Qicpic) to characterize the grain
size and shape of Chinese aeolian sediments in order to fingerprint their transportation …

UV phototherapy has become increasingly influential as a therapeutic modality in
dermatology. UV radiation is divided into UV-C (200–290 nm), UV-B (290–320 nm), and UV …
