Researchers at the University of Chicago have shown that ultraviolet radiation can disable a protein that normally restrains inflammation in skin cells, promoting conditions that favor tumor development. The protein, YTHDF2, helps prevent harmful immune responses to sun-induced damage. The findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, suggest new strategies for reducing the risk of UV‑related skin cancer by targeting RNA–protein interactions.
