Ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation of the skin causes immunosuppression which is relevant to the induction of skin cancer. The mechanism of this immunomodulation is unclear but various regulatory molecules have been implicated, including cis-urocanic acid (cis-UCA) and the cytokines tumour necrosis fac

Erythema and the initiation of an inflammatory response are typical features of human skin after ultraviolet (UV) radiation (UVR) exposure. Among the soluble factors that account for the induction of an erythema, the most recently discovered is vascular permeability factor/vascular endothelial growt
Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) receptor binding activity and melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1-R) gene expression on normal human melanocytes have been studied as responses to the effects of ultraviolet B (UVB), interleukin-1 (IL-1), endothelin-1 (ET-1) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha),
