Mokrzynski K, Zadlo A, Szewczyk G, Sarna M, Camenisch T, Ito S, et al.
Pigment Cell Melanoma Res . 2024 May; 37(6):769-782. PMID: 38803190
Melanin, particularly eumelanin, is commonly viewed as an efficient antioxidant and photoprotective pigment. Nonetheless, the ability of melanin to photogenerate reactive oxygen species and sensitize the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine...
