One of the main bases for skin cancer development is unprotected exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Chronic sunlight exposure leads the way for non-melanoma skin cancer prognosis1,2. Ultraviolet B (UVB) is the primary active waveband region that accounts for direct photochemical damage to DNA, by mutating the genes. Contrary to UVB, ultraviolet A (UVA) is responsible […]

Reactive Oxygen Species and Lipid Peroxidation

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive compounds, which is making them very dangerous in certain situations. They are mostly formed from O2 molecules in the mitochondrial electron transport chain1. When O2 molecules become reactive species, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or superoxide (O2–), they might be counted as stable compounds. Unfortunately, they might become
