Description

DNA Photodamage From Light Absorption to Cellular Responses and Skin Cancer

One of the main harmful effects of sunlight on living things is the induction of DNA damage. Along with next-generation sequencing and data processing, recent advancements have significantly increased our understanding of the photochemical processes at the sub-picosecond time scale, necessitating comprehensive, current coverage of the field. DNA Photodamage covers all aspect of the subject, from ultrafast spectroscopy to medicinal research, and is written in an approachable and thorough way that will appeal to all scientists working in the field, regardless of whether they are experts in the field or not. This book attempts to identify the most significant research trends in the field and review their key discoveries by bridging the gap between in vivo and in vitro biological investigations and photophysical and photochemical research on model systems.
