The New Bionic Reality: Imprinted Wearables
New dimensions in 3D printing are now possible thanks to a novel process developed at the University of Minnesota. Not only could this give surgical robots the sense of touch, it could embed the human skin with biometric monitoring capabilities.

Microbiome Helps Level the Acne Playing Field
Acne may be the result of a flaw in the microbiome's delicate balance. Using new research, microbiome-based markers could be used to diagnose and treat the disease.

[podcast] Formulating Microbiome Care: Watch Your Language
"If it doesn’t have a live cell in it, don’t call it a
probiotic
," says Larry Weiss, M.D., chief medical officer of AOBiome. "...As we move into this new area, [we must] retain our ability to communicate with consumers effectively."

Patent Pick: Complexing to Simplify the Antiperspirant Equation
Colgate-Palmolive inventors aren't sweating the small stuff. In a new patent application, they propose a stannous fluoride-based composition for antiperspirants with sweat control.

Preserving Microbiome Harmony: Antimicrobial Peptides Balance Skin Health
As an alternative, antimicrobial peptides were explored for their effects on the skin's microbial species using 16S rRNA and a novel comparative approach. In personal care, indiscriminate microbial destruction by traditional preservatives can unintentionally alter the thriving ecosystem that is the skin's microbiome.

Natural Folate in Human Skin: A New Approach to UV Damage Protection
Diminished folate levels impact the rate of DNA damage, thus this article explores how reinforcing skin folates prior to UV exposure could protect against DNA damage. The predominant natural folate in skin, 5-MTHF, is intrinsically stable under UV, but can degrade if photosensitizers are present. Sub-micromolar 5-MTHF protects DNA against oxidation, and ascorbate levels in skin help maintain this folate.

Dermal-epidermal Separation, Part III: Heat and Mechanical Methods
Readers previously expressed interest in understanding the most efficient and reliable methods to separate the epidermis and dermis for basic skin investigation. This third and final part in this dermatological series focuses on heat and mechanical techniques.

Patent Pick: Thermal Anti-aging Takes the Heat Off of Skin
Chanel inventors aim to take the heat off of skin in a new patent application for a cosmetic powder that exhibits low thermal conductivity to protect skin against thermally induced aging—whether too hot or too cold.

Engaging Tanning Pathway Sans UV Damage
New work from Massachusetts General Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute paints skin tanning in a new light—sans light, that is, not to mention sans UV damage.

JAMA
Calls Out Cosmetics
Adverse event reporting has been the cornerstone of cosmetic safety oversight. Is it an effective system, or do new products warrant new tactics? A recent report takes a closer look.

Blue Light in the Lime Light
Sederma has added a new effort to blackout light that comes from screens, which effects aging among other consequences. Blue light damage can come from sunlight or tablets, TVs, computers, phones and so forth.

Making Hair Loss History: Native Polyphenols to Kick-start Hair Regrowth
Research has shown the deregulation of two major hair follicle cell types are involved in androgenic alopecia: human fibroblast dermal papilla cells (HFDPc) and outer root sheath cells (ORSc). This article explores the effects of an active blend containing dihydroquercetin glucoside and epigallocatechin glucoside to stimulate ORSc and HFDPc, in turn reversing hair loss.

Study Targets Eczema Susceptibility at Its Source
New research points the finger at the protein filaggrin as the root cause of eczema susceptibility, with the possibility of drugs to treat the condition's causes on the horizon.
