Article Synopsis
  • Phospholipid oxidation products (OxPL) are important stress signaling molecules in the skin, influencing its response to aging and oxidative stress.
  • OLR1, a receptor found in various skin cells, particularly sebocytes and keratinocytes, was studied to assess its role in the signaling effect of OxPL.
  • Results showed that while OLR1 isn't needed for the transcriptional response to oxidized lipids, its knockdown affected genes related to cell growth and movement, highlighting sebocytes' unique reaction to lipid-induced stress.

Anti-acne drugs in phase 1 and 2 clinical trials.

Expert Opin Investig Drugs

July 2017

c Department of Venerology and Dermatology , Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, Magdeburg , Germany.

Despite the impressive increase of knowledge on acne etiology accumulated during the last 20 years, few efforts have been overtaken to introduce new therapeutic regiments targeting the ideal treatment of acne. The increasing emergence of microbial resistance associated with antibiotics, teratogenicity, particularly associated with systemic isotretinoin, and the need for an adverse drug profile, which can be tolerated by the patient, make the need of new pathogenesis relevant anti-acne agents an emerging issue. Areas covered: A search for phase 1 and 2 acne treatment trials in the US National Institutes of Health database of clinical trials and the European Medicines Agency database with the key words 'acne' and 'treatment' was carried out, on 6 January 2017.

Benign atrophic papulosis (Köhlmeier-Degos disease): the wedge-shaped dermal necrosis can resolve with time.

J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol

October 2017

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY, USA.

Background: Atrophic papulosis is a rare thrombo-occlusive disease, characterized by the appearance of multiple atrophic porcelain-white skin papules, with a surrounding erythematous rim, which are histologically consisting of wedge-shaped necrosis of the dermis.

Objective: It consists of two variants: (i) the benign atrophic papulosis (BAP) only involving the skin and (ii) the malignant atrophic papulosis (MAP) also involving several internal organs with a cumulative five-year survival rate of approx. 55%.
