Target intelligence / Profile preview

Skin

Molecular classification: Organ, Epithelium, Connective Tissue, Barrier

Overview

The skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving as a complex barrier and interface with the environment. It comprises multiple cell types, extracellular matrix components, and associated molecules. While not a single molecular target, it contains numerous potential therapeutic targets for drugs, cosmetics, and research interventions. These targets include hyaluronic acid, keratinocytes, regulatory RNA molecules, and components of the skin microbiota.
