Heat-mediated reduction of apoptosis in UVB-damaged keratinocytes in vitro and in human skin ex vivo
26 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: UV radiation induces significant DNA damage in keratinocytes and is a known risk factor for skin carcinogenesis. However, it has been reported previously that repeated and simultaneous exposure to UV and heat stress increases the rate of cutaneous tumour formation in mice. Since constant exposure to high temperatures and UV are often experienced in the environment, the effects of exposure to UV and...
