Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channels are an emerging field of research in dermatology. Beyond their classical role in skin sensory perception, TRPs are involved in various cutaneous functions that include keratinocyte differentiation, apoptosis and melanocyte pigmentation. In addition, they have a role as pharmacological targets in many inflammatory skin diseases including psoriasis, chronic itch, hair disorders and skin cancers. Moreover, mutations in TRPs have recently been related to rare skin conditions such as Olmsted syndrome. This review will cover the role of TRPs in dermatologic conditions with special emphasis on itch and skin inflammatory diseases.

Chemistry Based on Natural Products for Therapeutic Purposes
The development of new pharmaceuticals for a wide range of medical conditions has long relied on the identification of promising natural products (NPs). There are over sixty percent of cancer, infectious illness, and CNS disease medications that include an NP pharmacophore, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Since NP ...read more
Current Trends in Drug Discovery Based on Artificial Intelligence and Computer-Aided Drug Design
Drug development discovery has faced several challenges over the years. In fact, the evolution of classical approaches to modern methods using computational methods, or Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD), has shown promising and essential results in any drug discovery campaign. Among these methods, molecular docking is one of the most notable ...read more

From Biodiversity to Chemical Diversity: Focus of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are the largest group of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites arising from the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine (or more rarely from tyrosine) via the phenylpropanoid pathway. The flavan nucleus is the basic 15-carbon skeleton of flavonoids (C6-C3-C6), which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and a heterocyclic ...read more
