Abstract: The present invention includes compositions and methods for treating or preventing certain dermal disorders including dermal atrophy, pseudoscars, actinic keratosis, seborrheic or actinic keratoses, lentigines, focal areas of dermal thickening, and coarse wrinkles. In certain embodiments, the compositions useful within the invention comprise a therapeutically effective amount of a mTORC1 inhibitor and a dermatologically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: The present invention includes methods and compositions for preventing, ameliorating, and treating certain skin disorders caused due to UV-induced, age-related, and post-inflammatory cutaneous changes. The skin disorders include, in non-limiting examples, static wrinkles, fine wrinkles, loss of skin tone, ephelides, melasma, senile purpura, UV-damage to the skin, static rhytides, prominent hand veins, field cancerization of epithelium such as in squamous cell carcinoma in situ, keloids, and imbalance in ratio of collagen isoforms. In certain embodiments, the compositions useful within the invention comprise a therapeutically effective amount of a rapamycin and a dermatologically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting the proliferation and causing the differentiation of undifferentiated cells comprising contacting the undifferentiated cells with an effective amount of an antisense oligonucleotide having a sequence which is complementary to a region of the IGF-1 receptor RNA. The sequence of the antisense oligonucleotide is selected from an oligodeoxynucleotide sequence complementary to codons −29 to −24 of the signal sequence of the IGF-1 receptor and an oligoribodeoxynucleotide sequence complementary to codons 1 to 309 of the sequence of the IGF-1 receptor. The oligoribonucleotide sequence may be provided by an expression vector.
