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

The surprising paradigm shift could lead to much more protective sunscreens and effective skin treatments.

Spending enough time in the sun without adequate protection can leave us looking and presumably feeling like a lobster ready ...

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

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.

Sunburn has traditionally been attributed to UV-induced DNA damage. However, a new study by the University of Copenhagen and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, reveals that RNA, another ...

New research from the University of Copenhagen and NTU Singapore reveals that RNA damage, rather than DNA, plays a primary ...

“Sunburn damages the DNA, leading to cell death and inflammation. 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 ...

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