Excessive sun exposure in childhood is a critical variable influencing skin cancer risk.

متن کاملSUN protection for the skin
LINC complexes, consisting of inner nuclear membrane SUN proteins and outer nuclear membrane KASH proteins, connect the nucleus to the cytoskeleton, transmitting forces that control the nucleus's position within the cell. But how LINC complexes affect the cytoskeleton, and thus the balance of forces across cells and tissues, is less well understood. Stewart et al. now demonstrate that the LINC ...
متن کاملSun protection and the development of melanocytic nevi in children.
Childhood sun exposure causes nevi (and melanoma), but there is little evidence regarding the effectiveness of sun protection strategies on the number of nevi. We previously found that boys but not girls receiving a school-based sun protection program had fewer nevi on their backs than controls. Here, we investigated whether specific program components (encouraging children to stay indoors in t...
