- - The skin hosts a diverse community of microorganisms known as the cutaneous microbiome, which acts as a barrier against harmful pathogens and is linked to various skin diseases through a phenomenon called 'dysbiosis'.
- - Recent research focuses on the role of cutaneous dysbiosis in dermatophyte infections like tinea, particularly amidst rising cases of treatment-resistant conditions.
- - A review of studies using modern sequencing methods found notable differences in the skin microbiome of patients with dermatophytic infections versus healthy individuals, but many studies faced limitations such as small sample sizes and lack of longitudinal data.

- * Treatment with artemisinin reduced E2F5 and MMP levels while increasing TFPI2, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent by restoring balance in the E2F5/TFPI2/MMP signaling pathway in PCa.
