Abstract
The introductory review by Chris Callewaert, Katia Ravard Helffer, and Philippe Lebaron entitled "Skin Microbiome and Its Interplay with the Environment" provides a general overview of microbial communities in the environment, in particular those in natural resources (thermal spring water), large mammals (humpback whales) and humans (the skin microbiome). [...]Wei Li and Gil Yosipovitch reviewed "The Role of the Microbiome and Microbiome-Derived Metabolites in Atopic Dermatitis and Non-Histaminergic Itch", highlighting that alterations in the community structure of the microbiome and in the metabolic function of the skin microbiome are key factors in the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis.
