The present invention relates to a method of evaluating cellulite using fibulin-3 and/or sarcoglycan gamma as an indicator in a harvested skin sample, and a method of evaluating a drug for improving, preventing or treating cellulite using fibulin-3 and/or sarcoglycan gamma as an indicator in cultured cells.
摘要:
The present invention relates inter alia to therapeutic agents for use in the treatment of melanoma, methods of diagnosing an increased risk of metastasis in a subject suffering from melanoma, methods of treating such subjects, diagnostic assays and kits. More particularly, in certain embodiments the invention relates to identifying whether a subject suffering from melanoma has an increased risk of metastasis by determining the expression of Ambra-1 and Loricrin in a tissue sample obtained from the subject.
摘要:
The invention relates to muteins of the pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 1 (PYCR1), to nucleic acid molecules comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding such muteins, to methods of determining in a subject a predisposition of having an age related disorder associated with PYCR1, to methods of identifying a compound capable of modifying the expression of PYCR1, and methods of treating a subject having an age-related disorder associated with PYCR1. The invention further relates to a genetically modified animal and a method of modifying the expression of the PYCR1 gene in an animal.
摘要:
The identification and the use of compounds which activate the expression of at least one gene selected from LARGE, HS6ST2 and ST8SIA1 is provided. An in vitro method for screening for candidate compounds includes: (a) bringing at least one test compound in contact with a sample of keratinocytes in vitro; (b) measuring the expression of at least one gene selected from LARGE, HS6ST2 and ST8SIA1, in the keratinocytes; and (c) selecting the compounds for which an activation of at least 1.4 fold of the expression of at least one of the LARGE, HS6ST2 and ST8SIA1 genes is measured in the keratinocytes treated in (a) compared with the untreated keratinocytes. The candidate compounds may be useful for preventing and/or attenuating ageing, and/or for hydrating skin.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a composition containing a material for regulating the expression of ABH antigens and, more specifically, to a composition capable of: controlling sebum production and alleviating skin trouble by regulating the expression of ABH antigens; preventing skin pore enlargement by providing antioxidant effects; and defending against skin irritation production.
摘要:
One aspect of the invention provides a method of inhibiting, protecting against, or treating UVR-induced skin damage in a mammal at risk of developing UVR-induced skin damage. The method includes the step of topically administering a pharmaceutical or cosmetic composition including an effective amount of a Syk kinase inhibitor to said mammal. The Syk kinase inhibitor inhibits the UVR-induced skin damage in the mammal. Another aspect of the invention provides a method of treating a disease or disorder associated with a change of Syk kinase expression in the skin in a mammal. The method includes the step of topically administering to said skin of said mammal a pharmaceutical or cosmetic composition including a therapeutically effective amount of at least one Syk kinase inhibitor, thereby reducing Syk kinase expression in the skin of the mammal and treating the disease or disorder.
摘要:
Devices and systems for sampling and profiling microbiota of skin are described which include a replaceable microbe sampling unit including a substrate and a location information storage component, the substrate including a microbe-capture region configured to capture at least one type of microbe from one or more regions of a skin surface of an individual, and the location information storage component configured to store information associated with the location of said one or more regions of the skin surface of the individual.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of predicting the risk of a patient for developing cutaneous adverse drug reaction to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors such as nevirapine by using HLA-B*3505 allele and/or polymorphisms in the CCHCR1 gene.
摘要:
The subject invention provides a method of treating acne in a subject which comprises topically and periodically applying to the subject's acne a composition comprising 3-phenyl-1-benzo[f]chromen-1-one and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein the 3-phenyl-1-benzo[f]chromen-1-one is present in an amount effective to treat the subject's acne. The subject invention also provides a method of treating a skin condition associated with abnormal sebum secretion or abnormal sebaceous gland function in a subject, compositions in such methods and a sorting method for identifying agonists of AhR pathway, useful in such methods and compositions.
