- | Abstract: | ||
- | Microbiota on the human skin plays a major role in body odour production. The human microbial and chemical signature displays a qualitative and quantitative correlation. Genes may influence the chemical signature by shaping the composition of the microbiota. Recent studies on human skin microbiota, using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, found a high inter- and intrapersonal variation in bacterial species on the human skin, which is relatively stable over time. Human body odours mediate the attraction of mosquitoes to their blood hosts. Odours produced by skin microbiota are attractive to mosquitoes as shown by in vitro studies, and variation in bacterial species on the human skin may explain the variation in mosquito attraction between humans. Detailed knowledge of the ecology and genetics of human skin microbiota is needed in order to unravel the evolutionary mechanisms that underlie the interactions between mosquitoes and their hosts. | ||

- | Abstract | ||
- | The many layers and structures of the skin serve as elaborate hosts to microbes, including a diversity of commensal and pathogenic bacteria that contribute to both human health and disease. To determine the complexity and identity of the microbes inhabiting the skin, we sequenced bacterial 16S small-subunit ribosomal RNA genes isolated from the inner elbow of five healthy human subjects. This analysis revealed 113 operational taxonomic units (OTUs; " | ||

- | About a month ago I had a mole on my arm just turn to a sort of sludge and dissapear. It felt itchy one day and I just wiped it off with a handkerchief. It left a small hole (about 6mm by 9mm), very clean on the bottom, and that healed up quickly and looks like it will leave no scar. I'm assuming my immune system took a dislike to this mole! | ||

All this has made me contact the skin and cancer foundation of Australia where I originally went and got my diagnosis of Sarcoid 8 years ago. I spoke to them and told them about all this. It flew over there heads but they are willing to see me because my case was very interesting for them at the time and I think they want to know how all this stuff works because I'm the living proof of the MP working.~Simon Elrahi | All this has made me contact the skin and cancer foundation of Australia where I originally went and got my diagnosis of Sarcoid 8 years ago.

- | I have had some interesting changes in areas where I had sun damaged skin. Particularly my neckline and the backs of my hands. At first, the MP seemed to exacerbate the redness in these areas, especially my neckline. For the first two years the skin was very red and irritated. But recently, I've started to notice it feeling much softer to the touch. There seems to be a new layer of fat making the skin feel much softer and the irritation has disappeared. I find myself constantly wanting to touch this skin it is so soft...it is an amazing difference.~ Aunt Diana | ||
