MicroRNA’s which have been found in mammals way back in 2001, have been found to have [...]
Read More..>>Breaking research has shown that MicroRNA, a smaller form of RNA is vital to the formation of the skin’s protective barrier. In the research conducted at Rockefeller University, two scientists have noted than MicroRNA-203’s presence in a developing embryo creates a seemingly protective barrier by suppressing the activity of a molecule identified as p63. The [...]

Current treatment techniques involve imiquimod creams, photodynamic therapy, laser surgery and immune response modulators. Most of these skin maladies if detected early can be removed surgically preventing them from [...]
