AI Article Synopsis
- Sensitive Skin (SS) syndrome is a common condition characterized by subjective discomfort and is linked to the skin's microbiome, though its specifics are not well understood.
- A study involving 42 Korean women found distinct differences in the microbiomes and mycobiomes between those with SS and those with non-sensitive skin (NS), with SS showing greater diversity and specific fungal community changes.
- The results suggest a relationship between skin microbiome composition and sensitivity, opening up possibilities for new microbiome-based skincare products aimed at alleviating SS symptoms.
Article Abstract
Sensitive skin (SS) syndrome is a globally widespread, self-diagnosed discomfort characterized by subjective complaints. Although the skin microbiome is considered important in skin health, the relationship between the skin microbiome and skin sensitivity is still unknown. Here, we aimed to (i) investigate whether the microbiome and mycobiome of SS are distinct from those of non-sensitive skin (NS), and (ii) define the characteristics of the skin microbiome associated with skin sensitivity. A total of 42 Korean women subjects were recruited (SS, = 23; NS, = 19) and the microbiome/mycobiome of their right facial cheeks were analyzed. We identified the differential microbiome and mycobiome structures between SS and NS. The mycobiome of SS was more phylogenetically diverse than that of NS. and were more abundant on SS than NS, whereas was less abundant. Interestingly, both skin microbiome and mycobiome varied according to the perceived skin sensitivities of the subjects. This study suggests that the skin microbiome and mycobiome are associated with skin sensitivity. Accordingly, it lays the foundation for developing microbiome-based cosmetics or remedies for individuals suffering from SS syndrome.

Abstract: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a severe complication of diabetes. Due to conservative or delayed treatment, the majority of DFU patients frequently miss the optimal treatment window, thereby leading to amputation. Despite being a rare pathogen with low virulence, () exhibits some antibiotic resistance and can be fatal for immunocompromised patients.

Complex relationships between the human microbiome and cancer are increasingly recognized for cancer sites that harbor commensal microbial communities such as the gut, genitourinary tract, and skin. For organ sites that likely do not contain commensal microbiota, there is still a substantial capacity for the human-associated microbiota to influence disease etiology across the cancer spectrum. We propose such a relationship for prostate cancer, the most commonly diagnosed cancer in males in the United States.

Background: The skin microbiota, a complex community of microorganisms residing on the skin, plays a crucial role in maintaining skin health and overall homeostasis. Recent research has suggested that alterations in the composition and function of the skin microbiota may influence the aging process. However, the causal relationships between specific skin microbiota and biological aging remain unclear.
