Humans have been exposed to solar UV radiation since their appearance on Earth and
evolution has enabled most individuals to adapt to this exposure, to some degree. UV …

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) present in sunlight is a major environmental factor capable of
affecting human health and well being. The organ primarily affected by UVR is the skin …

UVA radiation is the most prevalent component of solar UV radiation; it deeply penetrates
into the skin and induces profound alterations of the dermal connective tissue. In recent …

Immunosuppression induced by solar UVR is regarded as one of the major negative impacts
of sunlight on human health. Despite this immunosuppression, bacterial superinfections are …

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) may be the most prevalent agent that man encounters in his

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from summer sunlight incident on skin comprises approximately
95% UVA (320–400 nm) and 5% UVB (290–320 nm). Biological effects include …

The focus of this review is to highlight studies which show the potential of specific
wavebands of the solar UV spectrum to protect, rather than induce damage, to the skin …

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 …

Cutaneous damages such as sunburn, pigmentation, and photoaging are known to be
induced by acute as well as repetitive sun exposure. Not only for basic research, but also for …

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 …
