Induction of retinal‐dependent calcium influx in human melanocytes by <scp>UVA</scp> or <scp>UVB</scp> radiation contributes to the stimulation of melanosome transfer

Abstract

The distinct time-phases of Ca²⁺ influx in MCs induced by UVA or UVB contribute to the consecutive stimulation of melanosome transfer, thereby providing a potent photoprotection against harmful UV radiation.
