Truncal acne differs from facial acne, with lower sebum/pH but greater microbial imbalance. Androgen levels, gender, and material contact influence outbreaks. The study evaluates treatment products' mechanisms, targets, and pros/cons, guiding clinical choices. These insights advance research and management strategies for truncal acne. 

Building on serum metabolites analysis in rosacea, researchers have identified linoleic acid (LNA) as a key therapeutic candidate, and further demonstrated that LNA prevents rosacea-like dermatitis in LL37-induced rosacea-like mouse model.

Even as the poltics of anger and division dominate the headlines and our social media feeds, there's another emotion triggered by politics that can just as damaging: depression. UC Merced Professor's book, "The Sad Citizen," takes a deep dive into how disappointment, grief and loss can demobilize people and ideological groups, pushing them to the sidelines of democracy. He investigates the causes of these emotions and makes suggestions about self-care and a more effective political process.

A new $2.6 million NIH grant will support Penn Engineering and Baylor College of Medicine researchers as they develop safer gene editing tools to treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a common but often undiagnosed genetic heart disease. Their approach could correct key mutations with high precision, offering hope for a lasting cure.

University of Oregon researchers found wood samples tested lower for levels of bacterial abundance than an empty plastic enclosure used as a control.
