Abstract

The adult intestine hosts a myriad of diverse bacterial species that reside mostly in the lower gut maintaining a symbiosis with the human habitat. In the current review, we describe the neoteric advancement in our comprehension of how the gut microbiota communicates with the skin as one of the main regulators in the gut-skin axis. We attempted to explore how this potential link affects skin differentiation and keratinization, its influence on modulating the cutaneous immune response in various diseases, and finally how to take advantage of this communication in the control of different skin conditions.

  • The intestinal microbiome is closely related to common skin diseases, such as acne, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis (AD).

    “the intestinal microbiome is closely related to common skin diseases, such as acne, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis (AD) [94].”
  • After ingestion of probiotic tablets of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactobacillus acidophilus by multiple acne patients, the majority of the acne patients' conditions improved.

    “after ingestion of probiotic tablets of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactobacillus acidophilus by multiple acne patients who participated in the experiment, it was found that the majority of the acne patients’ conditions improved [94].”
  • Probiotics can play a role in preventing and treating AD by enhancing immunity.

    “probiotics can play a role in preventing and treating AD by enhancing immunity [94].”
  • Supplying probiotic milk to women and infants before and after delivery can effectively reduce the incidence rate of AD.

    “the incidence rate of AD can be effectively reduced by supplying probiotic milk to women and infants before and after delivery [94].”

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.
