Keratinocytes from human skin respond as typical immune cells after the stimulation with _Trichophyton rubrum_ [PDF]

, 2007
_Trichophyton rubrum_ is the main agent causing dermatophytosis (1). Keratinocytes are considered to be the first physical barrier of defense against pathogens (2). But not only a physical barrier.

A review of skin microbiome and new challenges to cosmetic microbiome‐friendly formulations

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Microbiome‐friendly concepts offer new perspectives for a healthy relationship between cosmetic use and the skin microbiome, especially the interaction of non‐biotic cosmetic ingredients with the skin, requiring further studies to clarify the dynamics between the skin microbiome and different classes of cosmetic ingredients.

The Effect of Myrtacine and Celastrol‐Enriched Extract on Cutibacterium acnes Extracellular Vesicles

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Myrtacine alone, Celastrol‐enriched extract alone, or the combination of both ingredients were added to the culture medium either before (preventive condition) or after (modulating condition) incubation with C. acnes IA1 extracellular vesicles (EVs) from healthy and acne skin in immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) and human skin explants.

From venom peptides to neurotherapeutics: BmK defensins and short-chain peptides as modulators of ion channels

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Scorpions, having inhabited the Earth long before the emergence of humans, represent an ancient lineage of arthropods. While often regarded with fear due to their potential to induce severe pain or fatal envenomation, scorpion venoms constitute complex ...

Biomolecular Changes Upon Ablative Laser Therapy of the Skin: A Scoping Review

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
(Fractional) ablative laser therapy results in a wound healing response characterized by an inflammatory phase, dermal matrix degradation, and remodeling, collagenesis and elastogenesis. This is characterized by an increase in metalloproteinases, collagen type I, III, VII, and tropoelastin.

Prognostic Significance of the Pretreatment Neutrophil‐to‐Lymphocyte Ratio and Tumor‐Associated Neutrophils in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Oral Pathology &Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives The prognostic significance of the neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and tumor‐associated neutrophils (TANs) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains a subject of considerable research interest. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to evaluate the relationship between pretreatment NLR and TANs and ...

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

β-Defensin gene copy number variation in cattle

Royal Society Open Science
β-Defensins are peptides with antimicrobial roles, characterized by a conserved tertiary structure. Beyond antimicrobial functions, they exhibit diverse roles in both the immune response and fertility, including involvement in sperm maturation and ...

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.
