Sunscreen Photobiology: Molecular, Cellular and Physiological Aspects

Sunscreen Photobiology: Molecular, Cellular and Physiological Aspects edited by Francis P. Gasparro.

Sunscreens are universally recommended by dermatologists not only to prevent the immediate effects of overexposure to sunlight but also to prevent skin cancer. While the former goal is immediately evident, the latter remains an unproven hypothesis and is a topic of some controversy. Recent epidemiol...
