New insights into pigmentary pathways and skin cancer.

The British journal of dermatology - 1 Jan 2010

Miller A J, Tsao H

Abstract excerpt

The ability of cells to respond to and to mitigate environmental stress is crucial for their survival. Constitutive and facultative pigmentation have evolved in order for human skin to contend with high levels of terrestrial ultraviolet radiation (UVR). When this melanin 'shield' is compromised, individuals are exposed to increased skin cancer risk. The purpose of this review is to discuss new insights into the...
