A lipid-driven, microbe-independent mechanism of acne via <i> Lrig1 <sup>+</sup> </i> follicular progenitor cells
2025-08-31
Abstract excerpt
Long-chain saturated fatty acids (lcSFAs) are abundant in the skin, but their pathogenic roles in acne remain unclear. In human sebum profiling, C16:0, the most abundant lcSFA, was the only fatty acid significantly elevated in acne and correlated with inflammatory comedone counts. We then established a mouse model that faithfully recapitulates human acne phenotypes, in which topical C16:0 penetrated the epidermis...
