A new study from researchers at the David Geffen School of
Medicine at UCLA suggests that gene therapy can be used to
develop acne treatments. The study looked at six subjects,
with researchers mapping signaling pathway distributions
for normal and acne-affected skin. A comparative analysis
of 49 individual pathways in seven cell types resulted in the
findings suggesting dysregulated signaling pathways could
be modulated through gene therapy. This is promising news
for acne product formulators who might have a new way to
create treatments, especially ones that target acne in the
early stages of development.
