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

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

Science has revealed some of the secrets of the X chromosome, but many remain. In humans, female cells contain two X ...

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.

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

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

Many of the most devastating infectious diseases are caused by RNA viruses, and Model Medicines is working on one compound to ...

Our genes contain all the instructions our body needs to function, but their expression must be finely regulated to guarantee ...

Researchers leverage their understanding of molecular motors to improve nanoscale artificial motors, aiming to bridge the ...

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.

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.
