Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

7.9K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

2.5K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Electron Transport Chain: Complex I and II01:46

Electron Transport Chain: Complex I and II

15.2K
The mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) is the main energy generation system in the eukaryotic cells. However, mitochondria also produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to the large electron flow during oxidative phosphorylation. While Complex I is one of the primary sources of superoxide radicals, ROS production by Complex II is uncommon and may only be observed in cancer cells with mutated complexes.
ROS generation is regulated and maintained at moderate levels necessary...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathophysiology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Vitiligo is a common acquired depigmenting disease causing loss of melanocytes and melanin.
  • The condition presents significant treatment challenges due to long cycles and slow results.
  • Oxidative stress is a key factor in the initiation and progression of vitiligo pathogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the link between oxidative stress and vitiligo.
  • To describe advancements in targeted antioxidant therapy for vitiligo.
  • To offer insights for developing new vitiligo treatments and drugs.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on oxidative stress in vitiligo.
  • Review of current antioxidant therapies used for vitiligo.
  • Analysis of research progress in targeted antioxidant treatments.

Main Results:

  • Oxidative stress is confirmed as a critical factor in vitiligo development.
  • Various antioxidants have demonstrated positive outcomes in vitiligo treatment.
  • Targeted antioxidant strategies are emerging as a promising therapeutic avenue.

Conclusions:

  • Antioxidant therapy is a significant research focus for vitiligo.
  • Further development of targeted antioxidant drugs could improve vitiligo treatment outcomes.
  • This review provides a foundation for future research in vitiligo therapy.
