Abstract excerpt
Skin cells containing excessive ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced DNA damage are eliminated by apoptosis that involves the p53 pathway and Fas/Fas-Ligand (Fas-L) interactions. To determine whether dysregulation of apoptosis plays a role in skin cancer development through disruption of Fas/Fas-L interactions, hairless SKH-hr1 mice were exposed to chronic UV irradiation from Kodacel-filtered FS40 lamps for 30...
