28 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Hemp extract has been shown in several pre-clinical and clinical studies to have anti-aging effects on the skin through anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, in addition resveratrol, thyme and caffeine have been shown to have anti-aging effects related to fibrillar collagen production and extracellular matrix production in the dermis. A combination of these four ingredients will be used in a vehicle of fermented medium chain triglyceride oil and skin shave biopsies will be taken before and after 90 days use of the topical to look for objective evidence of anti-aging effects in the dermis and epidermis.
Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the United States. Currently, there is no safe way to obtain cells from the eye to study. But researchers now can turn other types of cells, like skin or blood, into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. These can be grown in a lab and turned into other types of cells, like cells from the eye. This will allow researchers to understand and treat diseases of the eye such as AMD. Objectives: To establish a bank of samples that can be changed into other cell types, such as eye cells, to better understand diseases such as AMD. Also to test drugs in order to treat various eye diseases. Eligibility: People who provided DNA samples in another protocol (07-EI-0025) Design: Participants will be screened with their data from the previous protocol. Participants with select genetic variants will be chosen and contacted via phone. Participants will have a punch skin biopsy. The skin will be washed. A numbing medication will be injected. A small piece of skin will be removed with a biopsy tool. The site will be covered with a dressing. They will receive instructions on how to care for the area. They will have follow-up visits if needed for clinical care for the area. Participants may be asked to return if their first sample did not provide enough cells for the lab. Participants sample will be developed into eye cells. The cells will be used to understand diseases and test new drugs.
Background: * National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers have been studying immune cells (white blood cells) to better understand how the human body s defense system works and adjusts or regulates itself, and how changes in this system can make a person sick. * To study the cells of patients who have problems with their immune systems, researchers would like to collect samples of skin cells from patients with immune system disorders and compare them with skin cells taken from healthy volunteers. By studying these cells, researchers hope to determine whether these cells can be modified to create a new kind of personalized gene therapy that would attempt to cure immune diseases in the future. Objectives: * To obtain skin cells from patients with immune system disorders and from healthy volunteers for research and comparison purposes. Eligibility: * Patients between the ages of 2 and 85 who have immune system disorders. * Healthy volunteers between the ages of 18 and 85. * Both groups will be selected from the eligible participants of existing NIH studies into immune system disorders. Design: * Researchers may take up to two biopsies from participants arms, legs, abdomen, or back. * The biopsy site will be numbed with local anesthetic and cleaned before the sample is taken. * The punch skin biopsy needle will be inserted into the skin and rotated to remove a small circle of skin (approximately 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch across). The area will be closed with bandages or stitches, and then covered with a dressing. Any stitches will be removed in 7 to 10 days. * Tissue samples collected in the study will be stored for future research.
The goal of this study is to visualize the deposition of topical 0.3% roflumilast (Zoryve) compared to vehicle using Line-Field Optical Coherence Tomography (LC-OCT) in vivo in healthy skin. We hypothesize that the application of topical 0.3% roflumilast (Zoryve) will result in distinct patterns of deposition within the epidermal and dermal layers compared to the vehicle. Specifically, we anticipate observing deeper penetration and more uniform distribution of roflumilast within the skin layers, indicative of enhanced efficacy, as visualized by LC-OCT imaging.
