Inhibition of Skin Inflammation by Scytonemin, an Ultraviolet Sunscreen Pigment
Scytonemin is a yellow-green ultraviolet sunscreen pigment present in different genera of aquatic and terrestrial blue-green algae, including marine cyanobacteria. In the present study, the anti-inflammatory activities of scytonemin were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Topical application of scytone...
