UV light is very high in energy. When it hits the skin, it can therefore damage important cellular molecules, sparking inflammation as a common consequence. The skin serves as a crucial barrier against viruses and environmental stimuli because it is the biggest organ in the human body. The researchers revealed the cause behind the skin inflammation.
A research lead by German scientists from University of Bonn claims that any mutilation in genes can go fatally wrong for the subsequent development of human organs at nascent stage.

Washington [US], September 25 (ANI): Astronomers have spotted signs of a 'hot spot' orbiting Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the centre of our galaxy, by using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).
Washington [US], September 23 (ANI): Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have spotted signs of a 'hot spot' orbiting Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the centre of our galaxy. The finding helps us better understand the enigmatic and dynamic environment of our supermassive black hole.
Bonn [Germany], August 29 (ANI): Uveitis, a rare inflammatory eye illness, is responsible for five to ten percent of blindness worldwide. In particular, posterior uveitis is frequently associated with significant disease progression and the requirement for immunosuppressive medication. In posterior uveitis, inflammation develops in the retina as well as the underlying choroid, which gives nutrients to the retina. Color-coded fundus autofluorescence was investigated as a potential innovative diagnostic tool by researchers at the University of Bonn's Department of Ophthalmology. The fluorescence of the retina can be used to determine the type of uveitis. This is a necessary requirement for appropriate disease diagnosis and therapy.
Bonn [Germany], August 28 (ANI): The protective scent that tumour cells spray themselves with suppresses the immune system. It seems, however, that a medicine that has already been approved for other uses can render this weapon harmless.
