TL;DR: After 7.5 years, low-dose antioxidant supplementation lowered total cancer incidence and all-cause mortality in men but not in women, suggesting that supplementation may be effective in men only because of their lower baseline status of certain antioxidants, especially of beta carotene.

Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers are predominant DNA lesions in whole human skin exposed to UVA radiation
TL;DR: It is shown that human skin efficiently protects against UVB-induced DNA lesions, whereas very weak protection is afforded against UVA, which emphasize the likely role played by the UVA- induced DNA damage in skin carcinogenesis and should have consequences for photoprotection strategies.

Identification and Cloning of a β-Cell–Specific Zinc Transporter, ZnT-8, Localized Into Insulin Secretory Granules
TL;DR: It is demonstrated by RT-PCR on cDNA libraries and human tissue extracts that the ZnT-8 gene is solely transcribed in the pancreas, mainly in the islets of Langerhans, and this gene is a major component for providing zinc to insulin maturation and/or storage processes in insulin-secreting pancreatic beta-cells.
