Lauric Acid bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) that cause of common acne or known as acne vulgaris. Lauric Acid it self can be found in both coconut oil and human breast milk. There is Nanotechnology innovation which has been published as “smart delivery system” by ACS Nano journal. It presents as gold nanoparticles attached to lauric-acid-filled nano-bombs surfaces. The gold nanoparticles help the liposomes to locate acne.
When the nano-bombs reach the bacterial membranes surfaces, the acidic microenvironment causes the gold nanoparticles to drop off. The liposomes carrying lauric acid payloads to stick together with bacterial membranes and kill the acnes [...] Continue Reading…
