Photosensitizers in dermatology.

abstract：:A novel type of circadian and photoperiodic control of the cell division cycle was found in photoautotrophic Euglena gracilis. When algae entrained to 24 h light-dark (LD) cycles (14 h L) were transferred to continuous darkness (DD) at the eighth hour of the final LD photoperiod, cell-cycle transition was arrested in ...
