Chitosan nanoparticles for antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation: characterization and in vitro investigation.

abstract：:Albino hairless mice (Skh: HR-1) exposed chronically to sub-erythemal doses of UV radiation display physical, visible and histological alterations. Using narrow bandwidth radiation covering the UV radiation spectrum from 280-380 nm, the wavelength dependence of these alterations was determined. The wavelength dependen...
