Researchers have discovered that DNA and RNA epigenetics form a complementary system that precisely regulates gene activity, ...

This is where DNA and RNA epigenetics comes in: a series of mechanisms that act as "markers" on genes, to control their ...

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

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

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.

Researchers led by François Fuks - Laboratory of Cancer Epigenetics, ULB Faculty of Medicine, ULB-Cancer Research Center and Jules Bordet Institute, H.U.B. - have discovered a new mechanism which ...

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

Our genes contain all the instructions our body needs to function, but their expression must be finely regulated to guarantee that each cell performs its role optimally.

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

The expression of genes has to be carefully regulated in cells; active genes give cells their identity and ability to function... | Cell And Molecular Biology ...
