UVA-induced oxidative stress and DNA damage in human skin cells and photoprotection by antioxidant compounds
Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR), especially UVA (320-400nm), is a potent inducer of oxidative DNA damage in human skin cells. Such damage has mutagenic and carcinogenic potential. It is therefore important to understand the mechanisms that control its extent, and develop means of protecting agains...
