Daily skin exposure to solar radiation causes cells to produce reactive oxygen species
(ROS), which are a primary factor in skin damage. Although the contribution of the UV …

There is increasing evidence for the generation of reactive oxygen species in skin upon
ultraviolet exposure, but little is known about their pathophysiologic relevance in human skin …

There is increasing evidence that longwave ultraviolet (UV) radiation (UVA; 320–400 nm)
plays an important role in the pathogenesis of photodermatoses such as polymorphous light …

No one would underestimate the importance of sunlight to the evolution of life on the earth
and its role in human development. However, all humans–especially individuals who are …

The ability of solar ultraviolet (UV) to induce skin cancer and photoaging is well recognized.
The effect of the infrared (IR) and visible light (Vis) components of solar radiation on skin and …

Chronic exposure of solar ultraviolet (UV) light to human skin results in photoaging. UV-
induced oxidative damage and induction of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) have been …

Black skin is more resistant to the deleterious effects of ultraviolet radiation than white skin. A
higher melanin content and a different melanosomal dispersion pattern in the epidermis are …

Solar UV radiation damages human skin, affecting skin tone and resiliency and leading to
premature aging (photoaging), the symptoms of which include leathery texture, wrinkles …

The skin is increasingly exposed to ambient UV-irradiation thus increasing risks for
photooxidative damage with long-term detrimental effects like photoaging, characterized by …

BACKGROUND: Compared with the detailed characterization of the ultraviolet (UV)
response in human skin, the effects of infrared (IR) and other regions of the sunlight are …
