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

Indoor tanning is associated with markedly higher mutation burdens and cancer-driving genetic changes in melanocytes taken ...

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, ...

Research from Northwestern and the University of California, San Francisco confirms that tanning beds "biologically shift your cells toward cancer.” ...

On a research end, scientists are digging more into this pathway that leads to skin cancer with hopes of creating new ...

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, ...

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 ...
