Mechanisms of ultraviolet light-induced pigmentation.

abstract：:We previously reported that the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in cell culture was enhanced by ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), a nontoxic bile acid. In this study, we examined the ability of UDCA to promote tumor control by PDT in the mouse, using the radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumor and the photosensitizing ...
