Interesting approach for acne treatment: engineer bacteria to work like Accutane, but locally (and without all the nasty side effects)! Modified C. Acnes bacteria secrete NGAL to kill sebocytes & thus sebum production. They engraft on mice skin & produce NGAL there.

Paper is in @NatureBiotech from @marcguellc @NastassiaKn @Synbio_Lab_UPF :

@marcguellc @NastassiaKn @Synbio_Lab_UPF Shoutout to @marthaluchow for making this video happen!

cool!!

The paper has this nice delivery system by C acnes but I could find very few papers on targeting LCN2/NGAL for acne treatment/sebum reduction other than the initial papers by Thiboutot and Nelson ...

@NatureBiotech What could possibly go wrong?! Contamination of non-consenting non-treated people, direct evolution into something hostile... Yep, no problems here!

Taking bets on how many people treated this way get MRSA infections due to lowered readiness of skin cytokine defense.... takers?

@NatureBiotech Intuitive idea.
