Abstract: Provided are: methods for treating aging or an age-related condition, symptom or disease; methods for stimulating hair growth, regrowth or pigmentation (or preventing hair loss); methods for increasing the expression of an adenosine receptor in dermal cells (in combination with hair growth); methods for treating a condition or disease of the skin or at least one symptom thereof, including cosmetic treatment (e.g., wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, redness, rosacea, dryness, cracking, loss of firmness, loss of elasticity, thinning, and loss of vibrance). The methods comprise administering a sufficient amount of a CBP/catenin (e.g., CBP/?-catenin) antagonist as disclosed, and particularly wherein administration is in an amount and manner sufficient to provide for increasing the number of asymmetric renewing divisions relative to, or at the expense of symmetric divisions in relevant somatic stem cell population. In particular aspects, the CBP/catenin (e.g.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for cancer treatment containing gossypol and phenformin as active ingredients. Specifically, the combinative treatment with gossypol and phenformin was verified to have a significantly higher anticancer activity than a single treatment with gossypol and phenformin alone. Therefore, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention containing gossypol and phenformin having a synergetic anticancer activity can be favorably used for cancer treatment.
