Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences issue 8 is now available online

Issue 8 of Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences is a themed issue on the Interaction of UV radiation with DNA and is now available to read online.

PPS issue 8 coverThe front cover this month features work by Patrick Rochette and Justin Mallet from Québec, Canada. In their work they seek to shed light on the genotoxic effect of sunlight in the human eye, by  investigating cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) induction in the cornea and the iris following irradiation of human eyes with different UV wavelengths (UVA, UVB and UVC).
