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

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.

The Kowalinski group at EMBL Grenoble discovered notable differences between the nuclear cap-binding complex in trypanosomes and humans, a critical component in cellular RNA metabolism. Trypanosomes ...

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

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel ...

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.

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