New research reveals that sunburn’s acute effects, like inflammation and cell death, are triggered by RNA damage rather than DNA damage. This discovery reshapes our understanding of the skin’s defense against UV radiation and opens doors to innovative treatments for sun-related skin conditions.

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion through enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is converted into mechanical motion by biasing the Brownian motion.

For decades, we’ve believed the bright redness of sunburn — along with its irritating sting and peeling skin — was the result of ultraviolet (UV) radiation wreaking havoc on DNA. But now, a new study from researchers at the University of Copenhagen and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore suggests otherwise.

Researchers have discovered that DNA and RNA epigenetics form a complementary system that precisely regulates gene activity, with potential implications for understanding cancer.

This is where DNA and RNA epigenetics comes in: a series of mechanisms that act as "markers" on genes, to control their activity without modifying the DNA or RNA sequence itself. Until now, DNA and RNA epigenetics were studied as independent systems.

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

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.
