Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

3.0K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

iPS Cell Differentiation

2.6K
The ability of induced pluripotent stem cells or iPSCs to differentiate into most body cell types has stimulated repair and regenerative medicine research over the past few decades. iPSC-derived blood cells, hepatocytes, beta islet cells, cardiomyocytes, neurons, and other cell types can repair injuries or regenerate damaged tissue in diseases such as diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders.

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

1.6K
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...

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

7.4K
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...

Cancer Therapies

7.5K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

313
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Vitiligo is a common depigmentation disorder caused by melanocyte destruction, impacting skin, hair, and mucous membranes.
  • It affects millions globally, causing significant psychosocial distress due to visible skin color changes.
  • While the exact cause is unknown, factors like oxidative stress, inflammation, genetics, and autoimmunity play a role.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the underlying mechanisms of vitiligo.
  • To highlight recent therapeutic advancements for vitiligo treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines.
  • Comprehensive search of PubMed database up to December 31, 2023.
  • Keywords included 'vitiligo' combined with various treatment modalities (e.g., JAK inhibitors, antioxidants, light therapy).

Main Results:

  • New treatment options have emerged, revolutionizing vitiligo management.
  • Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors show promise in targeting inflammatory pathways.
  • Prostaglandin analogues, antioxidants, TNF-α inhibitors, and advanced light therapies are also key advancements.

Conclusions:

  • Recent therapeutic developments offer significant hope for vitiligo patients.
  • Targeted therapies like JAK inhibitors and excimer lasers represent a paradigm shift.
  • These advancements address the complex etiopathogenesis, improving quality of life for those affected by vitiligo.
