Functionality of epidermal melanin pigments: current knowledge on UV-dissipative mechanisms and research perspectives.
(2011) In Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics 13. p.9119-9127- Abstract
- So far it is not known whether epidermal melanins are solely photoprotective or also phototoxic. Also largely unknown are underlying UV-induced mechanisms and impact of the chemical structure. This perspective will focus on the current insights into the UV-dissipative mechanisms in melanin model systems and the implications for the in vivo pigments. We will also identify future research perspectives towards a full understanding of the functionality of epidermal pigments.
