  • Ancient Sun Protection
    By: Jennifer | - Lying around in the sun all day is hazardous not just for humans but also for plants, which have no means of escape. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun can damage proteins and DNA inside cells, leading to poor growth and even death (as well as carcinogenesis in humans).

Now, scientists from The Scripps Research Institute and ...
