The ultraviolet B (UVB) component of sunlight causes non-melanoma skin cancers due to the damage it inflicts on genomic DNA. The response of epidermal keratinocytes to sunlight depends on the dose of UVB received and the severity of the damage to the DNA. Mild DNA damage typically induces DNA-repair
We have studied the interaction between several growth factors to promote parasympathetic neuronal survival. Neither insulin nor insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) had any effect on the survival of embryonic day 8 chick ciliary neurons in culture. Similarly, the protein kinase C activator phorbol
