Short RNA strand helps exposed skin cells protect body from bacteria, dehydration and even cancer (3/4/2008)

Every minute, 30,000 of our outermost skin cells die so that we can live. When they do, new cells migrate from the inner layer of the skin to the surface of it, where they form a tough protective barrier.
