  1. Summary of the number, area and volume of microdissected areas, RNA concentration, RNA Integrity Number (RIN) and percentage of fragments longer than 200 nucleotides (DV200) for all the samples in different skin components. All the values were reported as mean ± standard deviation (SD). ELF enriched layer of fibers, G glands, D dermis, WS whole section
