Abstract excerpt
The carcinogenic properties of ultraviolet (UV) light are mediated by its ability to generate DNA damage. Cellular responses to UV-induced DNA damage profoundly modulate the carcinogenic effects of UV exposures, and these responses are wavelength dependent. However, the exact contributions of different wavelengths of UV light to DNA damage, cellular damage responses, mutation, and skin carcinogenesis are...
