Abstract
Studies in our laboratory have used the marsupial Monodelphis domestica as an animal model for investigating the effects of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) on mammalian skin. Monodelphis domestica (South American opossum) is an attractive model for photodermatological studies as it possesses DNA repair pathways for pyrimidine dimers similar to those found in human skin.
