Haeme oxygenase protects against UV light DNA damages in the retina in clock-dependent manner

Abstract In the present study, we showed that in the retina of Drosophila, the expression of the ho gene, encoding haeme oxygenase (HO), is regulated by light but only at the beginning of the day. This timing must be set by the circadian clock as light pulses applied at other time points during the...
