Researchers linked users to a higher rate of skin cell mutation, especially in places usually protected from sun exposure.

The study, which was published in the journal Science Advances, links indoor tanning to a three-times greater risk of ...

Researchers discovered that tanning beds cause widespread, mutation-laden DNA damage across almost all skin, explaining the ...

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

( NewsNation) — Tanning beds cause melanoma -linked DNA damage across nearly the entire surface of the skin, a new study found. The precise biological process behind the increased risk of melanoma ...

Organisms like eukaryotes and prokaryotes have sophisticated mechanisms of DNA repair after damage. Failure of repairing the DNA damage is considered to be the cause of induction of cell death, ...

The researchers focused on Fanconi anemia, a rare inherited disorder characterized by a failure to repair specific types of ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

Following a double-strand DNA break, an enzyme called PARP1 helps hold the two strands together —like superglue— and creates a safe zone for other proteins to come repair the damage. We don’t exactly ...
