Gene Editing May Allow C. acnes to Treat Acne, Other Conditions
Cutibacterium acnes can be engineered to produce molecules that treat acne, a new study suggests. For the study, which is published in Nature Biotechnology, researchers successfully edited the genome of Cutibacterium acnes to secrete and produce NGAL protein known to be a mediator of the acne drug, isotretinoin, which has been shown to reduce sebum by inducing the death […]
