Abstract
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is an inherited condition caused by mutations affecting nucleotide excision repair.
- XP patients show increased sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
- This hypersensitivity leads to faster skin aging.
- XP requires lifelong sun avoidance to manage symptoms.
- The investigation focused on UV-induced cellular aging in XP melanocytes.
- Potential strategies to counteract cellular aging were explored.
