Cryptochrome 1 is modulated by blue light in human keratinocytes and exerts positive impact on human hair growth
3 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
Photoactivation of cryptochrome-family proteins by blue light is a well-established reaction regulating physiology of plants, fungi, bacteria, insects and birds, while impact of blue light on cryptochrome synthesis and/or activity in human non-visual cells remains unknown. Here, we show that 453 nm blue light induces cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) accumulation in human keratinocytes and the hair follicle. CRY1 is...
