Published: May 1995

The observation that topical retinoic acid could attenuate wrinkles and other features of skin photoageing has projected this molecule into the media spotlight. Behind this effect are in fact major basic biological issues related to the role of retinoids in tissue maintenance and their possible interference with the molecular biology of cellular ageing.

Introduction: Retinol has a long history of treating skin conditions, including photoaging. However, skin irritation with repeated use of retinol is well documented. The present study assessed the effectiveness of a novel topical formulation, referred to as retinol topical formulation (RTF), to improve the quality of skin health.

Background: Vitamin A, or retinol, is one of the most effective antiaging molecules, but it presents issues with photo-sensitivity and irritation. Alternatives are emerging, but have so far been less effective.

Objective: Here, we present a Silibum marianum extract (SME) as a retinol-like ingredient providing both safety and efficacy.

Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome (HGPS) serves as a prominent model for Progeroid syndromes, a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by accelerated aging. This review explores the genetic basis, clinical presentation, and complications of HGPS. HGPS is caused by mutations in the LMNA gene, resulting in the production of a defective structural protein, prelamin A.

Article Synopsis
  • Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a type of skin cancer that affects T cells and can spread throughout the body, making current treatments like chemotherapy less effective and often accompanied by severe side effects.
  • Research has identified cyclin dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) as a key factor in CTCL growth, with specific malignant T-cell characteristics revealed through single-cell RNA sequencing.
  • Targeting CDK9 with specialized treatments like PROTACs not only significantly reduces CTCL cell growth but also, when combined with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), shows promise for more effective and complete treatment options.

Article Synopsis
  • The StAR protein plays a crucial role in the initial steps of neuro/steroid production, which is important for hormone balance especially as we age.
  • Aging leads to changes in the immune system and decreases in neurosteroids, increasing the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), particularly in women.
  • Research shows that alterations in StAR levels and neurosteroid production are linked to AD pathology, highlighting the potential for retinoid signaling as a therapeutic target for improving brain health and reducing dementia risk.
