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

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.

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.

A team has unearthed new findings about what happens during the minutes and hours after a cell divides, expanding our understanding of human biology -- and potentially leading to better medicines.

Study reveals UV radiation damages RNA, not DNA, triggering skin inflammation and cell death through ribotoxic stress response.

A type of RNA, known as messenger RNA (mRNA), functions as the intermediate ‘messenger’ that carries information from DNA to make proteins - the basic building blocks of cellular components.

Genetic changes have the ability to alter crop characteristics, and some crop breeding techniques take advantage of this.

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

Scientists have collected troves of DNA and microscopic imaging data from human cells—and now they have a tool that might ...

Sunburn has traditionally been attributed to UV-induced DNA damage. However, a new study by the University of Copenhagen and ...
