Article Synopsis
- Actinic keratoses (AKs) are precancerous skin growths caused by UV exposure, and they can develop into cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
- Recent research demonstrated that GZ21T, a topical formulation containing GZ17-6.02, effectively decreased both the number and size of AK lesions in a mouse model while also preventing progression to squamous cell carcinoma.
- The treatment worked by suppressing multiple cellular signaling pathways and proteins linked to tumor growth and promoting autophagy, which aids in cellular cleanup.
