Bacterioruberin-Rich Carotenoid Extract Protects Human PBMCs Against UV-Induced Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis: Insights into Mitochondrial and Cell Survival Mechanisms
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major environmental stressor that disrupts cellular integrity by inducing oxidative stress, impairing mitochondrial function, and altering immune cell activity, ultimately compromising cellular homeostasis. In this context, carotenoids are widely recognized for their antioxidant and immu...
