How vaccines could be about to revolutionise acne treatments
It’s a cruel twist. Just as we become more concerned about our appearance, our faces start to erupt in great red spots.
AI Summary
Two companies are developing vaccines aimed at preventing acne by targeting proteins released by skin bacteria that trigger an immune overreaction. Sanofi is preparing to test an mRNA vaccine that targets at least one bacterial protein in clinical trials in the United States and Canada. Meanwhile, U.S. start‑up Armora Biosciences is pursuing a separate vaccine focused on a different bacterial protein. Both efforts seek to block the immune response that leads to pimples, potentially offering a new treatment avenue for teenagers and adults alike.
