Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic heliodermatitis: a morphologic evaluation of chronic actinic dermal damage with emphasis on the role of mast cells.
TL;DR: It is postulate that mast cell-derived mediators in conjunction with enzymes released by the infiltrating cells lead to breakdown of elastic and collagen fibers, leading to chronic heliodermatitis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of ultraviolet radiation on the mitotic cycle and DNA, RNA and protein synthesis in mammalian epidermis in vivo.
TL;DR: Acute effects of ultraviolet radiation on the mitotic cycle and macromolecular synthesis were investigated on hairless mouse epidermis in vivo and found that wavelengths shorter than 320 nm markedly inhibited mitosis, increased the basal cell turnover time and depressed DNA, RNA and protein synthesis within the first few hours post‐irradiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phototoxicity and photoallergy in man.
TL;DR: Photosensitivity is the broad term used to denote adverse reactions to the sun, which may be phototoxic or photoallergic or both, and the mechanisms of these reactions are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plants and near-ultraviolet radiation
TL;DR: The known ability of near UV to cause alterations in genomes-explored to date primarily in procaryotes-needs to be examined in vascular plants as a possible cause in ecotypic variation and as a factor in somatic and genome mutation.

Biochemistry of melanin formation
TL;DR: In the past quarter of a century several comprehensive reviews on the mechanism of melanin formation have appeared, but in only a few of these has there been any consideration of the biochemical aspects of this problem.

Proposed standard solar-radiation curves for engineering use
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral distribution of sunlight outside the atmosphere has been analyzed and a standard spectral distribution curve has been proposed for engineering applications dealing with direct sunlight at sea level, which is checked against independent data on total irradiation and ultraviolet irradiation, illumination, and color temperature.
