  • The use of human skin explants is more suitable for hosting the complete microbiota, but systemic pre-surgical prophylaxis may affect the integrity of the native microbiome, a problem that can only be overcome by using skin explants from non-prophylaxed donors.

    “Therefore, the use of human skin explants is certainly more suitable, but the systemic pre-surgical prophylaxis normally performed before surgical operations may affect the integrity of the native microbiome, a problem that can only be overcome by using skin explants deriving from non-prophylaxed donors [133].”

  • Rodent skin has its own microbiota that differs from human skin microbial communities, and attempts to model human microbiota on animal skin are prevented by competition from the native flora, in addition to intrinsic morphological differences with human skin.

    “Indeed, besides having intrinsic morphological differences with human skin, disadvantaging germ-free animal models, rodent skin is characterized by its own microbiota, which obviously differs from the microbial communities of human skin; thus, the attempts to model human microbiota on animal skin are prevented due to the competition exerted by the native flora [133,134].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
