Inflammatory skin conditions, such as acne and wound healing are quite often very painful chronic conditions that are slow to resolve.
Most people with acne are between ages 12 and 25, with boys more commonly affected than girls. Acne usually affects the face but may also affect the back, neck and chest. About 8 in 10 teenagers develop some degree of acne.
Although often it is mild, approximately 3 in 10 teenagers have acne of a severity which requires treatment for control and to prevent scarring.
Skin conditions are one of the most near-term areas for cell-based regenerative medicine products and we remain focused on developing a treatment which provides relief by reducing pain and inflammation and encourages accelerated healing and repair.
