Mechanisms of Suntanning brings together more than 80 international experts investigating various aspects of skin pigmentation and responses to UV radiation and, in particular, the molecular mechanisms involved in the suntanning response and the impact this has on human health. It provides the latest state-of-the-art understanding of melanocyte and skin biology, and the effects (positive and negative) of UV radiation. The topics covered range from factors that influence the development of melanocyte precursors (melanoblasts) in the embryo to the intercellular signaling and gene regulation of melanocytes exposed to UV radiation.
