Introduction

This issue of Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery is devoted to summarizing some recent advances in acne research. I had set for myself 2 goals as guest editor of this issue: (1) to select topics that are at once timely, intriguing, and controversial; and (2) to introduce to the readership a few investigators who are making their mark in acne research. Their names may not be ones that the majority of the readership has heard in the past, but they are undoubtedly ones they are likely to hear in the near future.
