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 ...

We have all been told to avoid direct sunlight between 12 noon and 3 p.m., seek out shade and put on sunscreen and a hat.

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

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

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

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

Researchers have now uncovered the 3D structure of the RNA enzyme SAMURI. Their study provides insights into the development of ribozymes and the evolution of catalytically active RNA.

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

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.
