For decades, we’ve believed the bright redness of sunburn — along with its irritating sting and peeling skin — was the result ...

NASA scientists found amino acids, key minerals, and nucleobases for DNA in samples from the OSIRIS-REx asteroid mission.

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

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.

Study reveals UV radiation damages RNA, not DNA, triggering skin inflammation and cell death through ribotoxic stress response.

New research from the University of Copenhagen and NTU Singapore reveals that RNA damage, rather than DNA, plays a primary role in the skin’s immediate response to UV radiation. This RNA damage ...

Not only does Bennu contain evidence of ancient pools of liquid water — it also carries minerals crucial to life, amino acids, and the five nucleobases for DNA and RNA. As asteroids crash into ...

Scientists detected all five nucleobases -- building blocks of DNA and RNA -- in samples returned from asteroid Bennu by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission.

Scientists have found all five nucelobases alongisde minerals essential for life as we know it on the potentially hazardous ...
