A new study has shed light on a previously overlooked aspect of DNA damage, revealing how environmental factors like light can compromise genetic material.

The research indicates that oxidative stress, often resulting from inflammation, also plays a significant role in damaging DNA.

This discovery emphasizes the complexity of DNA vulnerabilities and the need for further investigation into how these factors interact.
