Ultraviolet B induces hyperproliferation and modification of epidermal differentiation in normal human skin grafted on to nude mice
1 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: For ethical and technical reasons, the in vivo biological effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on skin are difficult to study in human volunteers. The use of human skin grafted on to nude mice may circumvent this difficulty. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of a single moderate UVB exposure on human skin grafted on to nude mice. METHODS: Modifications of epidermal differentiation markers and...
