About this Research Topic
In the last years, sunscreens and oral photoprotection have been upgraded to protect against the detrimental effects elicited by UVA radiation. However, there is a need to further deepen and strengthen the knowledge about damaging effects on the skin, as well as evaluate new substances and reinforce the signaling pathways of existing compounds, mainly antioxidants and specific UVA-filters, proposed as photoaging and cancer, prevention agents.
Thus, this Research Topic aims to study the inflammatory and oxidant network induced by UVA exposure to provide new insights into skin damage prevention. We call for articles on specific photoprotection as well, especially from natural products. Both original research articles and review articles are welcome. Preferred subtopics include but are not limited to:
- Novel studies on the mechanism of UVA radiation
- Reappraisal of UVA phototherapy
- Novel targeted compounds against UVA radiation
- Novel natural products against UVA skin damage
- Research on natural UVA filters from plants
- New insights about the role of UVA in skin cancer
- Role of UVA radiation in skin pigmentation
- Effect of UVA radiation on pollutants
Keywords: ultraviolet A radiation, oxidative stress, photoaging, mitochondrial damage, cell senescence, skin cancer, skin pigmentation
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
