Abstract
UV-induced melanogenesis (tanning) and "premature aging" or photoaging result in large part from DNA damage. This article reviews data tying both phenomena to telomere-based DNA damage signaling and develops a conceptual framework in which both responses may be understood as cancer-avoidance protective mechanisms.Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings (2009) 14, 25-31; doi:10.1038/jidsymp.2009.9.
