Transcriptomic analysis of human dermal fibroblast cells reveals potential mechanisms underlying the protective effects of visible red light against damage from ultraviolet B light

摘要

Background: Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation is a major cause of skin photodamage, including the damage associated with photodermatoses, aging, and cancer. Although many studies have shown that red light has photoprotective effects on skin, the mechanisms underlying these effects are still poorly understood.
