Executive Summary
ALOE GEL EXTRACT REDUCES IMMUNOSUPPRESSION CAUSED BY UV RADIATION in mice, Faith Strickland, MD, et al. said in the study, "Prevention of Ultraviolet Radiation-Induced Suppression of Contact and Delayed Hypersensitivity by Aloe barbadensis Gel Extract," published in The journal of Investigative Dermatology. The researchers noted that "topical application of Aloe barbadensis gel extract to the skin of UV-irradiated mice ameliorates UV-induced immune suppression by a mechanism that does not involve DNA damage or repair." The researchers are affiliated with the University of Texas.
