Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light (UV) is known to lead to premature skin ageing,
increased incidence of cataract and a high risk of developing skin cancers. UV‐B irradiation …

Lupus erythematosus (LE) represents a spectrum of inflammatory autoimmune disease
comprising varying clinical entities ranging from primary cutaneous to systemic disease …

The process of skin carcinogenesis is still not fully understood. Both experimental and
epidemiological evidence indicate that chronic inflammation is one of the hallmarks of …

Even though all of the energy contained with the UV wavelengths of solar radiation is
absorbed within the epidermis and upper layers of the dermis, UV irradiation can suppress …

We have examined the effects of a standardized, moderately erythemogenic dose of long-
wave ultraviolet (UVA) radiation on normal human skin, with the use of an appropriately …

Abstract Objective and Design: Ultraviolet (UV) exposure induces local immunosuppression
and inflammation in human skin. Cytokines are, in part, responsible for these responses. To …

Ultraviolet radiation (UV) represents one of the most important environmental factors
affecting human health, especially with regard to its hazardous effects on the generation of …

Exposure to mid-range ultraviolet radiation (UVR)[280–320 nm, ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation]
inhibits the acquisition of delayed-type hypersensitivity in mice and contact hypersensitivity …

Ultraviolet (UV) light abrogates contact hypersensitivity (CHS) responses and induces
hapten-specific tolerance. Because Th-1 cells are critically involved in CHS and are induced …

Ultraviolet (UV) B radiation may trigger cutaneous inflammatory responses by directly
inducing epidermal keratinocytes to elaborate specific cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1 …
