Abstract

The microbiome is vital for immune system development and homeostasis. Changes in microbial composition and function, termed dysbiosis, in the skin and the gut have recently been linked to alterations in immune responses and to the development of skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis (AD). In this review, we summarize the recent findings on the gut and skin microbiome, highlighting the roles of major commensals in modulating skin and systemic immunity in AD. Although our understanding of the gut-skin axis is only beginning, emerging evidence indicates that the gut and skin microbiome could be manipulated to treat AD.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Dietary factors, particularly the Western diet, contribute to intestinal dysbiosis and AD by altering the intestinal microbial genes and inflammatory responses.

    “Dietary factors, particularly the Western diet, contribute to intestinal dysbiosis and AD by altering the intestinal microbial genes and inflammatory responses.107”

    From Update on the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis. (2024) · cites this paper as [107]

    In “Gut microbiome and AD” (page unavailable), the review says diet affects gut microbial composition and that gut dysbiosis and immune imbalance may contribute to AD. Its “Immunologic pathway” section also discusses differences in gut microbiome genes and host immune function. It does not identify the Western diet as a particular cause or establish the claimed causal chain from diet through microbial genes and inflammatory responses to AD. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • There is a bidirectional link between the skin and the gut.

    “there have been many experiments demonstrating a bidirectional link between the skin and the gut”

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.
