Coordinated activation of a cluster of MMP genes in response to UVB radiation

Abstract Ultraviolet (UV) B radiation is a dangerous environmental stressor, which can lead to photoaging, inflammation, immune suppression and tumour formation. A recent report has shown the transcriptional activation of several skin-specific genes including matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) in respon...

Coordinated activation of a cluster of MMP genes in response to UVB radiation
description Abstract Ultraviolet (UV) B radiation is a dangerous environmental stressor, which can lead to photoaging, inflammation, immune suppression and tumour formation.
