Novel Culture System for Balanced Skin Microbiota Research

Caption

Researchers developed the TUS Skin Bacteria Co-culture (TSBC) medium, a novel system that enables the balanced cultivation of multiple skin bacteria. This breakthrough allows for a more detailed study of bacterial interactions, opening pathways to targeted skincare treatments that address microbiota imbalances associated with skin conditions, like acne and dermatitis.
