The invention relates to kits and methods for assessing skin health for a human and the human's susceptibility to skin disorders. The methods involve assessing occurrence in the human's genome of one or more polymorphisms (e.g., single nucleotide polymorphisms) that occur in one or more genes associated disclosed herein and that are associated with a disorder in humans. Preferred assessment and scoring methods are disclosed, as are kits for performing the methods.

Sets of genes are identified that show modulated activity in hyperpigmented sun-exposed (HE) and non-hyperpigmented sun-exposed (NHE) skin, when compared to non-hyperpigmented non-exposed (NHNE) skin. The modulated sets of genes reveal important information about the genetic changes that take place in skin as a result of environmental exposure and damage. The modulated sets of genes may be used to fabricate custom DNA microarrays for evaluating patients with skin diseases or disorders. The microarrays may also be used to screen new substances for treating skin diseases and disorders. The modulated gene sets, and substances that target them, may also be used to develop therapies for individuals who suffer from hypopigmentation, such as those with Fitzpatrick type I skin or vitiligo.

A lens for use on a device to assist in the phototherapeutic treatment of skin disorders where the device includes a housing having an interior containing a source of ultra-violet radiation or being adapted to receive ultra-violet radiation from an external source. The lens comprises a sheet-like structure releasably securable to the housing and for assisting in the direction of ultra-violet radiation from the housing to a desired skin surface. The lens has an upper surface and a lower surface with the upper surface generally adjacent to the interior of the housing. The lens further includes a plurality of generally hollow conical protrusions having upper and lower ends. The protrusions are situated on the lower surface of the lens such that when the lens is secured to the housing ultra-violet radiation is diverted outwardly through the lower ends of the protrusions.

Pro-apoptotic agents such as ligands and agonists of agonistic TRAIL receptors can induce or increase apoptosis of cells that cause fibrosis and underlying diseases such as liver, pancreatic, lung and skin diseases characterized by fibrosis, cirrhosis, or complications thereof. The compositions and methods can be used to selectively remove activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), the originators of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, and activated pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs), the originators of pancreas fibrosis and pancreatitis, and can be effective to reduce or prevent further chronic fibrosis by simultaneously reducing multiple fibrosis-associated molecules secreted or induced by such activated stellate cells. The compositions are typically effective to target agonistic TRAIL receptors such as TRAIL-R1 / DR4 and TRAIL-R2 / DR5 that are selectively expressed in activated HSCs and PSCs in physiological conditions. Ligands and agonists that can be used to target agonistic TRAIL receptors include, but are not limited to, TRAIL-R1 / DR4 and / or TRAIL-R2 / DR5 agonists.
