Endogenous photosensitizers play a critical role in both beneficial and harmful light-induced
transformations in biological systems. Understanding their mode of action is essential for …

Emphasis has been placed in this article dedicated to DNA damage on recent aspects of the
formation and measurement of oxidatively generated damage in cellular DNA in order to …

UV-induced DNA damage plays a key role in the initiation phase of skin cancer. When left
unrepaired or when damaged cells are not eliminated by apoptosis, DNA lesions express …

The photophysics and photochemistry of DNA is of great importance due to the potential
damage of the genetic code by UV light. Quantum mechanical studies have played a key …

This review article focuses on a critical survey of the main available information on the UVB
and UVA oxidative reactions to cellular DNA as the result of direct interactions of UV …

The survey focuses on recent aspects of photochemical reactions to cellular DNA that are
implicated through the predominant formation of mostly bipyrimidine photoproducts in …

Conspectus The intrinsic fluorescence of nucleic acids is extremely weak compared to that
of the fluorescent labels used to probe their structural and functional behavior. Thus, for …

Conidia are specialized structures produced at the end of the asexual life cycle of most
filamentous fungi. They are responsible for fungal dispersal and environmental persistence …

This review chapter presents a critical survey of the main available information on the UVB
and UVA bipyrimidine photoproducts which constitute the predominant recipient classes of …

Cells grown in 3D are more physiologically relevant than cells cultured in 2D. To use 3D
models in substance testing and regenerative medicine, reproducibility and standardization …
