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.

Our study highlights the importance of RNA stability regulation through UTR primary sequences, paving the way for further exploration of their implications in gene networks and precision medicine.

In addition, they provide evidence for an effect of disease-associated UTR mutations on endogenous RNA stability. While these elements link back to the original motivation of the study (screening for ...

We recently demonstrated that an RNA-DNA oligonucleotide corrected a point mutation in the mouse tyrosinase gene, resulting in permanent and inheritable restoration of tyrosinase enzymatic ...

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.

Scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Harvard Medical School, and McLean Hospital have discovered a ...

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

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.

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