Abstract :

In this presentation the author will be looking at other effects of this fascinating and highly potent molecule: ? Antidepressant response to Botulinum toxin A was seen in people with major depressive disorders. There are several randomised controlled trials now completed on depressed and non-depressed subjects who have simply been treated for glabellar lines ? Effect of Botulinum toxin A on cytokine synthesis in a cell culture model of cutaneous scarring. This type of work leads the way for use of the molecule to eliminate scar formation ? The potential effect of Botulinum toxin A dermal fibroblasts in an in vitro study, highlighting potential uses for wound healing ? Safety and efficacy of intradermal injections of Botulinum toxin A for the treatment of oily skin and which can reduce sebum production in the forehead region. The use of Botulinum toxin A in controlling of idiopathic neck and anterior chest wall flushing, which can be a social handicap to the sufferer especially when current treatment options are often unsatisfactory. Severe flushing of these areas was rapidly and effectively resolved ? In psoriasis and hyperhidrosis, Botulinum toxin was used to successfully to treat both conditions. The psoriasis lesions on the trunk of extremities had completely cleared within weeks ? Identification of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 3 (FGFR3) as a protein receptor for Botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT/A), providing scientific support for the effect of the molecule on fibroblast growth through a potential competition effec
