| Abstract | The ultraviolet (UV) B portion of the UV light has been recognized as the most prominent risk factor for the development of skin cancer, the most common malignancy in the Caucasian population. At the cellular level, UVB signal transduction regulates replicative arrest and DNA repair, gene expression and, when damage is beyond repair, apoptotic cell death, which is induced to protect the host against the accumulation of potentially mutagenic keratinocytes. An increasing body of evidence indicates that the UVB response in skin is a complex and multifaceted biological process. The UVB signal transduction originates at multiple intracellular sites, and the cross talk between dedicated molecular mediators acting within a complex signal network, determines whether the UVB damaged cell will survive, proliferate or die. However, very little is known about the original targets or direct chromophores that put in motion the UVB response in its main target: the keratinocyte. In this review we discuss the recent identification of signalling pathways linking apical UVB mediated damaging events with the induction of apoptosis. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that underlie the process of apoptotic cell death in UVB exposed keratinocytes, is of outmost importance to reveal how defects in apoptotic pathways can contribute to skin cancer. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
