The article reports on the study concerning the significance of ribonucleic acid (RNA) fragments on skin. It cites that cultured cells and animals studies have been used to examine the details of how cells migrate through the epidermis. It reveals that single-stranded RNA molecules have turned down the certain proteins' production by binding to the mRNA that serves as recipe for the synthesis of the protein. It shows that the therapeutic potential of microRNA could be even greater if microRNA has turned out to be broadly important in controlling the balance between differentiation and stem cells.
