Do ‘classical’ or ‘oxidative’ UVR-induced DNA adducts drive melanoma induction after ultraviolet radiation

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

There is debate about the mechanisms by which sun exposure influences melanoma development. This leads to difficulties in formulating adequate sunscreens and guidelines for safe levels of exposure. We will elucidate the critical UV-induced DNA adducts that are necessary for MM development. This will introduce experimental evidence into the debate about sun exposure and melanoma. The use of post sunburn creams containing enzymes which rapidly remove the dangerous DNA adducts will be indicated.
