Abstract excerpt
Ultraviolet-A (UV-A, 320 to 400 nm) radiation comprises 95% of the solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) reaching the earth's surface. It has been associated experimentally and epidemiologically with malignant melanoma. In this study we investigated whether UV-A radiation can induce a persistent, heritable hypermutability in mammalian cells similar to that observed following ionising radiation (IR). Using the...
