Abstract
The present invention includes a method of detecting ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced skin damage in a mammal. The present invention also includes a method of identifying a mammal at risk of developing UVR-induced skin damage, photoaging, or photocarcinogenesis. The present invention further includes a method of inhibiting UVR-induced skin damage in a mammal at risk of developing UVR-induced skin damage. The present invention also includes a method of reducing the level of Syk kinase in the skin of a mammal. The present invention further includes methods of treating or diagnosing a disease associated with a change of Syk kinase expression in the skin in a mammal.
