New research reveals that sunburn may be caused by RNA damage, not DNA, challenging long-held beliefs about UV exposure ...

For decades, we’ve believed the bright redness of sunburn — along with its irritating sting and peeling skin — was the result ...

New research reveals that sunburn’s acute effects, like inflammation and cell death, are triggered by RNA damage rather than ...

So the textbooks say. But in this study we were surprised to learn that this is a result of damage to the RNA, not the DNA that causes the acute effects of sunburn," says Assistant Professor Anna ...

The integration will enable Leica’s BOND staining systems to simultaneously detect RNA and protein targets on the same tissue ...

In cells, they ensure the transfer of genetic information and regulate the activity of genes. Some even act as catalysts, ...

Mice injected with a microRNA molecule lived longer and had fewer markers of ageing, but it’s not yet known if the treatment ...

This is where DNA and RNA epigenetics comes in: a series of mechanisms that act as "markers" on genes, to control their ...

A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has developed a novel method to enhance the precision ...

In this review of RNA therapies, we paint an overview of what’s going on in a field that is addressing a number of diseases.

Sunburn has traditionally been attributed to UV-induced DNA damage. However, a new study reveals that RNA, another vital cellular molecule, plays a major role in triggering acute sunburn reactions.
