Novel Antioxidant Tripeptide “ACQ” Can Prevent UV-Induced Cell Death and Preserve the Number of Epidermal Stem Cells

<div>Confocal microscopic examination of skin equivalents. (a) The number of p63 positive cells increased significantly in response to treatment with ACQ compared to the control. In addition, the expression of <i>α</i>6 integrin was also significantly increased but nonspecific staining was observed at the upper epidermis (×200, scale bar is 50 <i>μ</i>M).</div>
