Lipopeptide 78 from S. epidermis inhibits skin inflammation
Wound healing is a crucial physiological process rehabilitating the unity of the skin barrier. Inflammation in wound healing is a weapon with two edges. It is indispensable but must be strongly regulated both temporally and spatially. In this recent study, Li et al. show skin commensal S. epidermidis produces a Read more…

Skin microbiota prevent S. aureus skin colonization and disease
The skin is inhabited by Bacteria, archaea, fungi and viruses, collectively referred to as the skin microbiota. These commensals serve as first line of defense at the skin surface and play a vital role in both the establishment and maintenance of the skin’s immune system. Among the bacteria, some of Read more…

The human skin microbiota could promote wound healing
Skin commensals are crucial in the maintenance of the epithelial barrier function, regulation of the host immune system, and prevent invasion of other pathogenic microbes. In this article, published in September 2018, Burmeister et al show that Staphlylococcus, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas, Corynebacterium, and anaerobes have both beneficial and harmful effects depending Read more…

Phenotypic characterization on liver spheroïds
3D cell models are now attracting a huge interest from scientists working both on toxicity and pharmacology assay development. They are considered more relevant at mimicking the in vivo situation. However, phenotypic assays on these models can be challenging, and are at least more complex.
