Protective effects of Polypodium leucotomos extract against UVB‐induced damage in a model of reconstructed human epidermis

Abstract

Polypodium leucotomos (PL) exerts potent antioxidant, photo‐protective, and immune‐modulatory activities. A reconstructed human epidermis (RHE) (Episkin) is a suitable model for the evaluation of acute UV‐induced cell damage. No data regarding the photo‐protective action of PL in this model are available.
