Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for preventing acne in a patient comprising administering topically to the patient a composition effective to induce sebocyte differentiation. Also disclosed herein are methods of preventing acne in a patient comprising administering topically to the patient a composition effective to reduce insulin-induced lipoxygenase (LOX) activity and/or inflammatory processes. Also disclosed herein are methods of preventing a disease, condition, or disorder characterized by alteration of sebocyte differentiation, comprising administering topically to a patient a composition effective to induce sebocyte differentiation. The described methods can include administering a composition that includes a therapeutically effective amount of a PPAR? modulator, and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutical formulations for oral administration of antisense oligonucleotides, such as antisense oligonucleotides against SMAD7. The pharmaceutical formulations can be used to treat Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and chronic inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract: Described herein are methods of treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in a patient having IBD using SMAD7 antisense oligonucleotides.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for treating hair related disorders, including compounds that may be specific or modulate PPAR receptors.

Abstract: Methods of treating IBD in a subject using an anti-SMAD7 therapy, such as a SMAD7 antisense oligonucleotide, to reduce CCL20, IL8, or TNF? levels are disclosed. Methods of treating and managing IBD in a subject using an anti-SMAD7 therapy, such as a SMAD7 antisense oligonucleotide, based on CCL20, IL8, or TNF? levels are also disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of determining whether a subject with IBD is responsive or likely to be responsive to treatment an anti-SMAD7 therapy. Reduction of CCL20, IL8, or TNF? levels may correlated with IBD remission or decreases in CDAI score.
