Background: Human health status can be measured on the basis of many different parameters. Statistical relationships among these different health parameters will enable several possible health care applications and an approximation of the current health status of individuals, which will allow for more personalized and preventive health care by informing the potential risks and developing personalized interventions. Furthermore, a better understanding of the modifiable risk factors related to lifestyle, diet, and physical activity will facilitate the design of optimal treatment approaches for individuals.

Article Synopsis
  • Non-invasive collection of mRNA from skin surface lipids (SSLs) offers insights into skin health and diseases by analyzing the genetic material found in the skin's natural oils.
  • Research shows that human mRNAs are protected in SSLs, particularly from sebaceous glands, epidermis, and hair follicles, making them viable for study.
  • In patients with atopic dermatitis, there are notable changes in gene expression related to inflammation and skin function, highlighting the potential of SSL-RNA analysis for better understanding skin conditions.
