Acne is a widespread dermatological condition characterized by painful skin lesions caused by oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells. The condition is influenced by factors such as hormonal imbalances, genetics, and environmental pollutants. The most severe cases of acne are commonly treated with Isotretinoin, a potent oral medication derived from vitamin A.

Traditionally, cancer treatment relied on surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, but immunotherapy has emerged as a promising new method. The report focuses on immune checkpoint inhibitors, particularly those targeting PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4, which have shown significant success in treating various cancers by preventing cancer cells from evading immune detection.

There are complex underlying neurobiological mechanisms for memory formation, retention, and the pathological forgetting associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Memory formation involves encoding, storage, and retrieval processes facilitated by synaptic plasticity, which allows neurons to strengthen or weaken their connections based on activity. In Alzheimer's disease, this process is disrupted, leading to significant memory loss and cognitive decline.

Achondroplasia is a form of skeletal dysplasia or dwarfism caused by genetic mutations. Affecting approximately 1 in 15,000 individuals, achondroplasia is characterized by disproportionate dwarfism, where individuals have an average-sized torso and short limbs. The condition is primarily caused by a mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene, leading to abnormal bone growth due to impaired chondrocyte proliferation. Most cases arise from a spontaneous germline mutation, although achondroplasia can be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.

Oncolytic virotherapy is a novel treatment for glioblastoma (GBM), which is a highly aggressive brain cancer with limited treatment options and poor survival rates. GBM is characterized by its genetic and epigenetic heterogeneity, which contributes to resistance against conventional therapies like chemotherapy and radiation. The study focuses on Delytact, an oncolytic virus derived from the herpes simplex virus, which selectively infects and destroys cancer cells while sparing healthy ones.
