    GlossarySkin Transcriptome

    complete set of RNA molecules produced in skin cells

    The skin transcriptome refers to the complete set of RNA molecules, or transcripts, produced in the skin cells. This includes all the genes that are actively being expressed at any given time, providing insights into the skin's functions, responses to environmental factors, and conditions like alopecia. Understanding the skin transcriptome helps researchers and clinicians identify molecular pathways involved in skin health and disease.
