Abstract

Abstract : The Front Cover picture illustrates that, upon light absorption, the (6‐4) photolesion acts as a photosensitizer. Consequently, this primary DNA lesion may lead to CPDs, resulting in an enhanced biological risk that may have been overlooked. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. A. Miranda and co‐workers onpage 1979 in Issue 13, 2016 (DOI:10.1002/cphc.201600154 ).
