Abstract excerpt
The skin is vulnerable to ultraviolet (UV) exposure, and as a repair mechanism, autophagy activation is essential to eliminate UV-damaged skin cells to maintain tissue homeostasis. As a UV-induced protein, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1; 32 kDa) is implicated in protecting cells from oxidative stress and plays an important role in disease prevention. However, the mechanism of photoprotection in skin cells has yet to be...
