Background: Surgical methods of gingival depigmentation can be challenging, particularly if the gingival phenotype is thin due to the risk of gingival recession and bone exposure. Thus, exploring alternative, non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment modalities is warranted. In dermatology, vitamin C is extensively used for depigmentation and microneedling for collagen induction, with limited literature about its usage for improving gingival esthetics.

Article Synopsis
  • Melanoma is a severe skin cancer that starts from melanocytes, and existing rodent models have limitations in mirroring human conditions.
  • Researchers have created a transgenic pig model that mimics human melanoma using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), enabling better study of the disease.
  • This new model allows for the investigation of melanoma development and response to treatments, providing a significant resource for advancing cancer research and drug testing.

(1) Background: Ultraviolet radiation takes part in photoaging and pigmentation disorders on skin. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a well-known brightening and photoprotective compound but it faces limitations in terms of stability and solubility. (2) Methods: A more stable and water-soluble glucoside called EGCG-G1 was obtained by enzymatic glucosylation of EGCG.

Article Synopsis
  • - Neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) is a genetic disorder that causes benign tumors along nerves, impacting patients' skin and vision, and poses management challenges in areas with limited resources.
  • - A 62-year-old woman with NF1 experienced progressive vision loss due to eyelid tumors, which were confirmed as benign nerve tissue upon examination.
  • - Effective management in resource-limited settings relied on regular monitoring, patient education, and multidisciplinary care, highlighting the necessity of adaptable approaches to improve patient outcomes and prevent complications like visual impairment.
