April 2020 in “American Journal Of Pathology” The document reviewed the pathobiology of skin aging, identifying it as a degenerative process influenced by intrinsic and environmental factors, leading to structural changes such as epidermal thinning, loss of dermal papillae, and decreased collagen and elastin, which contribute to wrinkles and sagging. It highlighted the role of stem cell dysfunction, genetic factors, and immune system decline in skin deterioration, noting increased susceptibility to infections and skin cancer. The review argued for recognizing skin aging as a disease due to its health implications and variability among individuals. It also discussed the psychological impact of skin aging and advocated for public health strategies to mitigate its progression. The document emphasized the complex interplay between skin aging, stem cell function, and immune response, suggesting potential interventions like targeting sirtuins to reverse aging effects.

May 1997 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry” The study investigated the impact of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) overexpression on protein kinase CK2 activity and localization, revealing that elevated polyamine levels led to increased CK2 activity and its translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Despite a significant increase in CK2 protein levels, only a modest rise in enzyme activity was observed, with nuclear CK2 activity increasing 4-fold. In K6/ODC transgenic mice, high ODC activity in hair follicles resulted in hair loss and follicular cysts, suggesting a link between polyamine metabolism and cancer progression. The findings indicated that polyamines might regulate CK2 by affecting its distribution and activity, potentially contributing to tumor development by altering CK2 activity and disrupting normal signal transduction pathways.
