The effect of interaction of heat and UVB on human keratinocyte: Novel insights on UVB-induced carcinogenesis of the skin

Skin cancer is an important environmentally-related health issue. Although sun exposure is closely associated with increasing environmental heat, the effects of environmental heat on the skin, especially in the context of photocarcinogenesis, has not been carefully examined.This study aimed to explore the effects and interactions of UVB radiation and environmental heat on photocarcinogenesis of the skin using cell and animal models.Cultured...
