UCSF researchers say intense tanning bed use in youth can trigger major, irreversible DNA damage linked to melanoma.

For the first time, scientists have demonstrated how tanning beds cause fundamental DNA damage across almost the skin'se ...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to cause DNA damage, and while that damage may accumulate and eventually lead to diseases like skin cancer, cells also have repair mechanisms that can fix ...

In a recent study, researchers suggest the cell's messenger RNA (mRNA) -- the major translator and regulator of genetic material -- along with a critical protein called ZAK, spur the cell's initial ...

Indoor tanning is trending among Gen Z. A new study finds tanning bed users not only have a much higher risk of melanoma, ...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is a well-known cause of DNA damage, which can lead to diseases like skin cancer.

In a recent study, researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine suggest the cell's messenger RNA (mRNA) - the major translator and regulator of genetic material - along with a critical protein called ZAK, ...

Here's what you need to know from the researchers leading the charge.

Not so long ago, people like my Aunt Muriel thought of sunburn as a necessary evil on the way to a “good base tan.” She used to slather on the baby oil while using a large reflector to bake away. Aunt ...

UV radiation damage can force an injured cell to decide between survival and cellular suicide. New research from Rachel Green's laboratory shows DNA isn't the only trigger. Immediately after UV ...
