## Abstract An acceleration of differentiation, at the expense of proliferation, is observed after exposure of various biological models to low frequency and low amplitude electric and electromagnetic fields. Following these results showing significant modifications, we try to identify the biologic

β¦ Synopsis
The effects of UVA, mixed UVA + B, and solar-simulated irradiation were examined in human keratinocytes and melanocytes cultured in vitro. Irradiation with UVA, UVA + B, or the solar simulator caused a dose-dependent decrease in keratinocyte cell numbers and thymidine incorporation at 24 hours, with recovery after 48 and 72 hours. Divided dose regimens reduced the inhibitory effect of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation o n cell numbers measured 24 hours after the last irradiation. Exposure to both UVA and UVA + B increased formation of cornified envelopes. Similar irradiance doses of UVA 80 minutes (1.12 J/cm7) and UVA + B 40 minutes (1.04 J/cm*) caused 2.4-and 3.3-fold increases in cornified envelope formation, respectively. With solar-simulated irradiation, the cornified envelope formation was increased by 3.5-fold after exposure of 8 minutes (2.6 Jicm').
