Could this be the end for injections?
Nightmares of doctors or dentists with oversized hypodermic needles could soon be a thing of the past. A new painless way of delivering drugs through the skin is described in the journal BMC Medicine this week - and needles are not involved. The technique, called microscission, uses a stream of gas to bombard small areas of the skin with tiny... view more... (2004-04-14)
Small molecules may explain psoriasis
A research team at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet has shown for the time that microRNA, small RNA molecules, may play an important role in the development of inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis and atopic eczema. view more (2007-07-12)
