ABSTRACT:
The invention features methods of screening for compounds that prevent and/or reduce UVB-induced skin damage, e.g., wrinkles. The method includes identifying an agent that increases or induces the expression, activity or levels of a component of the p21 signal transduction pathway. Also included are methods and compositions for treating UVB-induced skin damage.
