Project description:In this study, we conducted an integrated analysis of skin measurements, clinical BSTI surveys, and the skin microbiome of 950 Korean subjects to examine the ideal skin microbiome-biophysical association. By utilizing four skin biophysical parameters, we identified four distinct Korean Skin Cutotypes (KSCs) and categorized the subjects into three aging groups based on their age distribution. We established strong connections between 15 core genera and the four KSC types within the three aging groups, revealing three prominent clusters of the facial skin microbiome. Together with skin microbiome variations, skin tone/elasticity distinguishes aging groups while oiliness/hydration distinguishes individual differences within aging groups. Our study provides prospective reality data for customized skin care based on the microbiome environment of each skin type.
Project description:The skin Microbiome stratifies Patients with CTCL into two subgroups. One subgroup has a balanced microbiome, while the other subgroups has a skin dybiosis with S. aureus outgrow. This is accompanied by impaired TCR repertoir and poor clinical outcome.

Project description:The role of the skin microbiome in UV-induced immune suppression has been overlooked. We addressed the question of microbial involvement in UV-induced immune suppression by using the standard model of contact hypersensitivity in the presence or absence of the microbiome (in germ-free [GF] and disinfected mice) and found that the microbiome inhibits UV-induced immune suppression. Furthermore, our transcriptome analysis (24 hours after irradiation) showed differential regulation of many genes in the presence or absence of the microbiome, including a predominance of pro-inflammatory cytokines versus immunosuppressive cytokines
Project description:We performed transcriptome analysis and multimodal data integration of the transcriptome and the microbiome of the skin of Mycosis fungoides Patients.
