Skin Microbiome Profile of Healthy Cameroonians and Japanese
The commensal microbes of the skin have a significant impact on dermal physiology and pathophysiology. Racial and geographical differences in the skin microbiome are suggested and may play a role in the sensitivity to dermatological disorders, including infectious diseases. Little is known about the skin microbiome profiles of people living in Central Africa, where…
In-cytoplasm Mitochondrial Transplantation for Stem Cells Engineering & Tissue Regeneration
Representative images of the wound area (left) and the corresponding fractions of wounds healed (right) by different treatments. News Release, Skin Aging & Challenges – August 31, 2022 Stem cell therapies are unsatisfactory due to poor cell survival and engraftment. Stem cells used for therapy must be properly “tuned” for a harsh in vivo environment.…
Topical Platelet Exosomes: New Strategy for Skin Rejuvenation
News release, Skin Ageing & Challenges – 23 June 2022 Exosomes are regenerative mediators for skin rejuvenation. In the context of aesthetic medicine, platelets are an ideal source for exosomal isolation given their role in skin healing.
