Biologists from the United States of America have been able to discover a new protein molecule that makes cells in the skin of a person become tanned, without the rays of the sun.
Interestingly, the new technology is suitable for light-red and red-haired girls with delicate white skin.
David Fisher of Harvard University says: “We believe that we were able to open a new strategy to combat skin cancer.
Malignant lesions often affect the skin and most of these cases are associated with ultraviolet light.. The new tanning technique makes it possible to replace light pigment molecules in skin cells with their dark "
The experiments were carried out on laboratory rodents and on cultures of human cells, and they became successful, since the unique protein YKL 06-061 worked with both red and blond rodents. A new tan, on average, remains for ten days, after which it disappears with exfoliated skin.
