Could the decision by the
FDA to allow sale of cloned meat and meat products help
with creating a ure for acne? Should the citizens of the
United States expect to have access to products that could
limit the occurrence of acne flare-ups? Would milk from
cloned animals have the ability to diminish sebum production
(as does the ingestion of retinoids)? To date, there is
no cure for acne, only several treatments for acne. Below
investigates some possible cure methods in the scientific
forefront.
When an acne patient uses an acne treatment containing
retinoids, he or she cannot produce sebum. The retinoids
interfere with the transmissions of DNA in the skin cells.
This interference decreases the ability of skin cells
to produce sebum. Skin with a low level of sebum is less
likely to harbor acne-causing bacteria.
So how do these facts relate to the sale of cloned
meat? How could cloned meat offer a cure for acne? Could
products from cloned animals offer the same benefits
as the ingestion of retinoids?
A product from a cloned animal (such as milk) can be
used to put a protein in the body. A product from a
cloned animal cannot be used to remove a protein from
the body. At the present time, researchers have not
provided cloning specialists with enough information
for the creation of a cloned animal with the ability
to offer a cure for acne.
Still, the hope is, researchers will continue to learn
more about the factors that stimulate the production
of sebum in hopes that there some protein that plays
a role in turning off natural sebum production. If found,
there may one day be a cloned animal that could offer
a cure for acne. The milk from a cloned animal may be
altered to contain a protein that holds down the production
of sebum.
Such a radically new type of acne treatment would be
a true blessing to some patients. Some acne patients
cannot use a product that contains retinoids. Patients
with diabetes, asthma or heart disease, for example,
should not use retinoids.
Some who object to the sale of cloned meat may not
want to use any product from a cloned animal. Yet for
a number of years, cloned microorganisms have been used
to make various types of medications.
At the same time, medical researchers have found new
ways to grow organs in the lab. The skin is an organ.
Could acne free skin be made in the laboratory? Could
such skin be used as a sort of cure for acne? Only time
and research will tell for sure. As it stands, those
who can take retinoids claim that retimoids are very
close to a cure for acne, and researchers never tire
from the search for the best treatment for acne.
