Xie J, et al. – The potential molecular mechanism of myricetin that safeguarded the cells from photodamage was contemplated in this trial. The antioxidant property of myricetin could effectively attenuate UV–caused cell damage. It suppressed the expression of COX2 through the IκB/NFκB signaling pathways. Myricetin illustrated potential protective effects on UV–induced skin cell damages, which could be utilized in cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
