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

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

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

A team of scientists at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) in Würzburg and the University of ...

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 reveals that RNA, another vital cellular molecule, plays a major role in triggering acute sunburn reactions.

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 by the University of Copenhagen and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, reveals that RNA, another ...

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.
