متن کاملA UV-B-specific signaling component orchestrates plant UV protection.
UV-B radiation in sunlight has diverse effects on humans, animals, plants, and microorganisms. UV-B can cause damage to molecules and cells, and consequently organisms need to protect against and repair UV damage to survive in sunlight. In plants, low nondamaging levels of UV-B stimulate transcription of genes involved in UV-protective responses. However, remarkably little is known about the un...
متن کاملBiobased Nanoparticles for Broadband UV Protection with Photostabilized UV Filters.
Sunscreens rely on multiple compounds to provide effective and safe protection against UV radiation. UV filters in sunscreens, in particular, provide broadband UV protection but are heavily linked to adverse health effects due to the generation of carcinogenic skin-damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon solar irradiation. Herein, we demonstrate significant reduction in the ROS concentratio...

متن کاملMeasuring the UV Protection Factor of Fabrics
Sun protection fabrics are designed to absorb or reflect the sun’s UV radiation as a means of protecting the skin from damage. The rating system for fabrics specifies an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) value, which can be thought of as a time factor for the protection of Caucasian skin compared to exposure without any protection. For example, if a person would show visible erythema (sunburn...
