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 routine and often unavoidable exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation makes it one
of the most significant environmental DNA-damaging agents to which humans are exposed …

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 …

A radical is any molecule that contains one or more unpaired electrons. Radicals are normal
products of many metabolic pathways. Some exist in a controlled (caged) form as they …

In this review article, emphasis is placed on the critical survey of available data concerning
modified nucleobase and 2-deoxyribose products that have been identified in cellular DNA …

This textbook covers the spectrum from basic concepts of photochemistry and photophysics
to selected examples of current applications and research. Clearly structured, the first part of …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive therapeutic modality used for the
management of a variety of cancers and benign diseases. The destruction of unwanted cells …

The present manuscript is a conceptual review concerning the photo-Fenton reaction at near-
neutral pH, used for bacterial inactivation. In this first Part, an overview of the mechanisms …

Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation causes various types of DNA damage, which leads to specific
mutations and the emergence of skin cancer in humans, often decades after initial exposure …

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 …
