Streptococcus thermophilus from face of young individuals.
These microbial community samples were collected from the faces of 52 participants of varying ages and gender using sterilized tape.
Detailed analysis found treatment with secretions of
S. pneumoniae and
S. infantis induced gene expression linked to the formation of skin structure and the skin barrier function in human skin cells.
The application of the
Streptococcal culture supernatant on human skin showed notable improvements on skin phenotypes such as elasticity, hydration, and desquamation.
One of the main discoveries was that spermidine, which was created during the metabolic process, directly impacts skin anti-aging as well as showing efficacy in improving skin health by activating collagenisis and lipid secretion.
Expected new product launches include anti-aging, hair loss prevention, and oral care products
The fruit of six years of research, the findings secure a super gap in skin microbiome research
SEOUL, South Korea, April 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Global cosmetics research, development, and ODM company, COSMAX (CEO Lee Byung-man), and the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) have become the first in the world to reveal the correlation between the skin microbiome and skin aging.
COSMAX announced that its thesis titled, Spermidine-induced Recovery of Dermal Structure and Barrier Function by Skin Microbiome, has been published by
Nature Communications Biology.
In 2015, COSMAX identified that a person s skin flora directly regulates the skin, and the company began to carry out research related to anti-aging. After discovering that the number of microorganisms that live on the skin decreases with age, they hypothesized that it held an important key to anti-aging and st

Researchers develop new AI-based strategy to assess beef freshness
Apr 1 2021
Scientists at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, Korea, combine an inexpensive spectroscopy technique with artificial intelligence to develop a new way of assessing the freshness of beef samples. Their method is remarkably quicker and more cost-effective than conventional approaches while maintaining a relatively high accuracy, paving the way for mass-produced devices to identify spoiled meat both in the industry and at home.

Although beef is one of the most consumed foods around the world, eating it when it s past its prime is not only unsavory, but also poses some serious health risks. Unfortunately, available methods to check for beef freshness have various disadvantages that keep them from being useful to the public. For example, chemical analysis or microbial population evaluations take too much time and require the skills of

Although beef is one of the most consumed foods around the world, eating it when it s past its prime is not only unsavory, but also poses some serious health risks. Unfortunately, available methods to check for beef freshness have various disadvantages that keep them from being useful to the public. For example, chemical analysis or microbial population evaluations take too much time and require the skills of a professional. On the other hand, non-destructive approaches based on near-infrared spectroscopy require expensive and sophisticated equipment. Could artificial intelligence be the key to a more cost-effective way to assess the freshness of beef?
