A bioinspired, photostable UV-filter that protects mammalian cells against UV-induced cellular damage
Abstract
We demonstrate the application of xanthommatin (Xa), a biochrome present in arthropods and cephalopods, as an alternative chemical UV-filter that is cytocompatible while maintaining photostability and photoprotective properties.
