Abstract excerpt
Chronic exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes skin cancer in humans and mice. We have previously shown that in hairless SKH-hr1 mice, UVB-induced p53 mutations arise very early, well before tumor development. In this study, we investigated whether discontinuation of UVB exposure before the onset of skin tumors results in the disappearance of p53 mutations in the skin of hairless SKH-hr1 mice. Irradiation...
