A groundbreaking study shows tanning beds create dangerous DNA mutations deep within skin cells—far exceeding the damage ...

Use of tanning beds nearly triples the risk of developing melanoma, and it also damages the DNA of skin cells across the body ...

DNA can sustain serious injuries called double strand breaks, in which both strands of the helix snap. These breaks are among ...

Tanning bed use is tied to almost a three-fold increase in melanoma risk, and for the first time, scientists have shown how ...

Tanning beds emit 10 to 15 times more UVA rays than the sun. New research shows that translates to a dramatic increase in the likelihood of a dangerous skin cancer.

Scripps Research scientists have discovered how some tumors endure DNA damage, revealing a potential new way to target them. The DNA inside our cells is constantly exposed to damage, and one of the ...

The findings of a new academic paper suggest that warming winters are causing damage to the DNA of some lizards.

The findings may have important implications for diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. A newly identified form of DNA damage inside mitochondria, the small structures that supply energy to our ...

After two decades in the making, scientists have cracked the code on a drug that can repair DNA, setting the scene for a new ...

A noninvasive blood test to detect genetic material shed by tumors may help clinicians identify adverse events related to ...

Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have developed an experimental drug that repairs DNA and serves as a prototype for a new class of ...
