In a collaborative project between the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and the Interdisciplinary Centre for Bioinformatics (IZBI) at Leipzig University, changes in gene expression in sebaceous glands have been spatially mapped for the first time. The study documents at high resolution changes in gene expression in the course of sebum synthesis and identifies new candidates for the modulation of sebum production. The researchers have published their findings in the prestigious Journal of Biological Chemistry.
Sebaceous glands are essential for maintaining the structure and function of the skin. ...
