Skin microbiome: role in human health and skin inflammatory diseases. The skin barrier is a major interface between the human host and its environment. It is colonized by more than 1000 different bacterial species which live at the skin surface or within skin appendages but also of by fungi, virus and mites. In adults, the most abundant bacterial genera are Cutibacterium, Corynebacterium and coagulase negative staphylococci. The composition of the skin microbiome mostly varies according to localization, reflecting different physical, chemical and environmental conditions. Despite constant environmental exposure, the skin microbiome of adults is stable over time. Coagulase negative staphylococci play an important role in skin defense by preventing colonization by pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, demonstrating mutualistic relationships with the human host. Skin inflammatory diseases are associated with specific dysbiotic features that probably play an important role in their pathophysiology and may be treatment targets in the future.

Background: Dermoscopy is a noninvasive technology used to examine the skin's invisible microstructures in dermatological practice and is gaining prominence as a crucial tool. Dermoscopy is an evidence-based practice used to enhance the early detection of skin malignancies and to help distinguish between various skin conditions, including pigmented and nonpigmented skin malignancies. Currently, the vast majority of global guidelines for skin cancer recommend dermoscopy as a critical component.

CD73 is ubiquitously expressed and regulates critical functions across multiple organ systems. The sequential actions of CD39 and CD73 accomplish the conversion of adenosine triphosphate to adenosine and shift the adenosine triphosphate-driven proinflammatory immune cell milieu toward an anti-inflammatory state. This immunological switch is a major mechanism by which regulatory T (Treg) cells control inflammation.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a recurrent and chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by a high lifetime prevalence and significant impairment of patients' quality of life, primarily due to intense itching and discomfort. However, current pharmacological interventions provide only moderate efficacy and are frequently accompanied by adverse side effects. The immune-pathogenesis of AD involves dysregulation of the Th2 immune response and exacerbation of inflammation related to excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Oleuropein is a phenolic compound commonly found in cosmetic ingredients including olive leaves and jasmine flowers with various skin-beneficial effects. Here, we evaluated oleuropein's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities in human skin cells. In a cell-based inflammasome model with human monocytes (THP-1 cells), oleuropein (12-200 µM) reduced proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-6 by 38.
