Beyond wrinkles
Acknowledgments References and Notes Information & Authors Metrics & Citations View Options References Figures Tables Media Share This article has 0 eLetter . Aging skin is often described in structural terms: a thinning epidermis, declining sebum production, reduced elasticity, slower repair, and increased susceptibility to irritation, infection, and chronic inflammation. However, skin is not only a tissue that ages but also an ecosystem that ages.
Topical Carboxytherapy Modulates the Skin Microbiome Following CO2 Laser Resurfacing: A Pilot Study
To the Editor, Skin microbiome contributes to cutaneous homeostasis and barrier defense by regulating keratinocyte proliferation, angiogenesis, and immune responses [1, 2]. Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser resurfacing, widely used for photoaging and scar revision, induces controlled dermal injury and transient skin barrier disruption to trigger the wound healing cascade.

The human skin microbiome: from metagenomes to therapeutics - Nature Reviews Microbiology
Abstract The skin microbiome is composed of a diverse community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses and mites. These microorganisms have a crucial role in maintaining skin health, protecting against pathogens and modulating immune responses. In recent years, our understanding of the skin microbiome has expanded substantially with the deployment of metagenomic sequencing.
A host–microbiota interactome reveals extensive transkingdom connectivity - Nature
Abstract The myriad microorganisms that live in close association with humans have diverse effects on physiology, yet the molecular bases for these impacts remain mostly unknown1,2,3. Classical pathogens often invade host tissues and modulate immune responses through interactions with human extracellular and secreted proteins (the ‘exoproteome’).
Immune cells for microbiota surveillance
PerspectiveImmunology Julia Oh, Derya Unutmaz Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine and University of Connecticut School of Medicine, Farmington, CT 06032, USA. Email: derya{at}mac.com See allHide authors and affiliations Science 25 Oct 2019: Vol. 366, Issue 6464, pp. 419-420 DOI: 10.1126/science.aaz4014 Summary The immune system has coevolved with the microbial community that inhabits body surfaces and mucosal barriers.
How Much Does the Skin Microbiome Change Over Time?
Like a forest, plain or desert, our skin has different ecologies. We have oily sites like our face and torso, dry sites like our hands and forearms, and moist sites like our feet and armpits. And all over our skin, we have tremendous numbers of microbes—bacteria, fungi and viruses that make up what is called the skin microbiome. There are dangerous germs that can make us sick, and you probably have heard a lot about them. Most microbes, however, are good for us.
Testing the Feasibility of Remote Patient Monitoring in Prenatal Care Using a Mobile App and Connected Devices: A Prospective Observational Trial
Excessive weight gain and elevated blood pressure are significant risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes such as gestational diabetes, premature birth, and preeclampsia [ - ]. The impact of utilizing a remote patient monitoring system to monitor blood pressure and weight gain as a component of prenatal care has not been previously assessed.
Temporal Stability of the Human Skin Microbiome
Diverse Signatures of Skin Microbe Stability at the Species Level Individual-Specific Signatures Are Shared across Time and Space Individuals Have Distinct Microbial SNV Signatures that Are Stable over Time Identification of SNVs in the P. acnes Core Because transient species also likely contribute to community variations over time, we next examined the fraction of the skin community that was transient, i.e., species that were below the detectable range between time points.
