Apoptosis, the only cell death pathway that can be measured in human diploid dermal fibroblasts following lethal UVB irradiation
3 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is a major environmental genotoxic agent. In skin, it can lead to the formation of mutagenic DNA damage. Several mechanisms are in place to prevent the conversion of these DNA damage into skin cancer-driver mutations. An important mutation prevention mechanism is the programmed cell death, which can safely dispose of the damaged cells. Apoptosis is the most studied and best...
