Humans are virtually identical in their genetic makeup, yet the small differences in our DNA
give rise to tremendous phenotypic diversity across the human population. By contrast, the …

As crucial interface organs gut and skin have much in common. Therefore it is unsurprising
that several gut pathologies have skin co‐morbidities. Nevertheless, the reason for this …

Biogeography and individuality shape the structural and functional composition of the
human skin microbiome. To explore these factors' contribution to skin microbial community …

Repair of tissue wounds is a fundamental process to re‐establish tissue integrity and regular
function. Importantly, infection is a major factor that hinders wound healing. Multicellular …

Background: As the population grows older, the incidence and prevalence of conditions that
lead to a predisposition for poor wound healing also increase. Ultimately, this increase in …

The skin is a complex barrier organ made of a symbiotic relationship between microbial
communities and host tissue via complex signals provided by the innate and the adaptive …

Culture-independent studies to characterize skin microbiota are increasingly common, due
in part to affordable and accessible sequencing and analysis platforms. Compared to culture …

The human gut microbiota has been studied for more than a century. However, of nonculture‐
based techniques exploiting next‐generation sequencing for analysing the microbiota …

Psoriasis is a prevalent, chronic inflammatory disease of the skin, mediated by crosstalk
between epidermal keratinocytes, dermal vascular cells, and immunocytes such as antigen …

The skin is a complex and dynamic ecosystem that is inhabited by many microorganisms.
Recent evidence highlights the profound reliance of the skin immune system on its resident …
