About this document
UV-Induced Mutations and Skin Cancer by Mario Abraham Benitez is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This review article discusses the mechanisms by which ultraviolet (UV) radiation induces DNA damage, leading to mutations and skin cancer. It highlights the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) as the primary mutagenic lesions caused by UV exposure, and the role of DNA repair mechanisms, particularly nucleotide excision repair. The article emphasizes the importance of understanding these processes to elucidate the link between UV exposure and skin cancer development.
