Molecular Dermatopathology

Molecular dermatopathology is a specialized field that combines dermatopathology, the study of skin diseases at a microscopic level, with molecular biology. It focuses on understanding the genetic and molecular changes in skin diseases, such as skin cancers or genetic disorders. By analyzing DNA, RNA, and proteins in skin samples, experts can identify specific features of diseases that help in diagnosis, treatment decisions, and predicting outcomes. This approach enhances our understanding of skin conditions at a deeper level than traditional methods, leading to more personalized and effective care for patients with skin-related health issues.
