Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue "Innovative Applications of Topical Probiotics in Dermatology: Addressing Multiple Skin Disorders". This Special Issue aims to explore the cutting-edge molecular science behind the use of topical probiotics in dermatology, focusing on their potential to address various skin disorders.
The skin serves a fundamental role in maintaining homeostasis and providing a protective barrier against external factors. Recent scientific investigations have emphasized the therapeutic potential of probiotics and postbiotics in dermatological treatments and skincare. These bioactive microorganisms interact with the skin microbiota, modulate immune responses, and reinforce the skin barrier. Topical probiotics have emerged as a promising therapeutic option, and consequently, they represent a promising strategy for the management of various dermatological disorders, offering novel insights into skin microbiome modulation and its impact on skin health.
We invite you to contribute your expertise by submitting reviews and original articles that delve into the molecular mechanisms, clinical applications, and innovative research surrounding topical probiotics. Your contributions will help advance our understanding of how these probiotics can be harnessed to treat conditions such as acne, eczema, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and other dermatological issues.
We would like to acknowledge Dr. Lilian Sosa (Pharmaceutical Technology Research Group, Faculty of Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy, and Instituto de Investigaciones Microbiológicas (IIM), National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH), Tegucigalpa 11101, Honduras) for her participation as Guest Editor Assistant in the development of this Special Issue.
