Using Nitric Oxide to Combat Acne

Researcher Adam Friedman from George Washington School of Medicine found that, using nanotechnology, the release of nitric oxide was effective in killing P. acnes while at the same time inhibiting inflammation that comes with acne lesions. This study focused on a new pathway that involves an inflammasome, which activates the inflammatory process in acne.
