Summary: Genodermatoses are rare inherited skin diseases that often affect other organs, causing significant impacts on patients' health and well-being. Advances in molecular genetics and translational research have provided opportunities for innovative treatments, including intervention in cell-signaling pathways, suppression of inflammation, and correction of genetic defects. These technologies vary in terms of personalized, short-term, and permanent therapeutic effects. Prevention of transmission to future generations is also an important goal for severe genodermatoses.

Summary: The discovery of endogenous H2S with cytoprotective properties has led to efforts in developing H2S as a therapeutic agent. H2S's ability to regulate various processes makes it potentially useful in managing critical illnesses. However, current methods of delivering H2S are not feasible for clinical use. Na2S2O3, a clinically approved compound, shows promise in pre-clinical studies for managing critical illnesses. Clinical trials are investigating its potential in myocardial infarction, and it may also be relevant for pre-eclampsia and COVID-19 pneumonia.

Summary: Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease characterized by goiter and hyperthyroidism, with some patients also developing eye proptosis. Traditional treatment options have remained largely unchanged for the past 70 years and often result in high recurrence rates or lifelong hypothyroidism. New therapeutic ideas, including biologics, small molecule peptides, and immunomodulators, as well as the effective components of traditional Chinese medicine, have opened up new possibilities for treating Graves' disease.

Summary: Coenzyme Q(10) is an essential component of the electron transport chain and acts as an antioxidant. Deficiency of CoQ(10) can increase oxidative stress. Oral supplementation with high doses of CoQ(10) has shown beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseases and inflammation related to low CoQ(10) levels and high oxidative stress. It has also been suggested as a potential therapeutic agent for preventing and slowing the progression of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and male infertility. Further studies and well-designed clinical trials are needed to evaluate the benefits of CoQ(10) for these disorders.

Summary: Doped carbon materials, especially F-doped carbon catalysts, have gained significant attention as metal-free catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions and as corrosion-resistant supports for Pt and non-Pt nanoparticles. F-doped carbon materials possess unique properties and greatly improve the activity and durability of the ORR compared to N-doped carbon materials. The high electronegativity of F-doping can efficiently modify the electronic band structure of carbon materials, favoring the ORR. This review systematically discusses the effect of F-doping/F co-doping on the electrocatalytic reduction of O2 in acidic and alkaline conditions, the stability and durability of fuel cell catalysts, and provides guidelines for working with F-doped carbons. Future research directions on F-doped carbons are also proposed to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale assessments and commercial applications.
