The paper shows that host sebum fatty acid ratios influence Malassezia antifungal susceptibility, with palmitic acid counteracting oleic acid's antagonistic effect.

This study investigates how menopause alters Malassezia fungal populations on skin and their impact on inflammation and skin health in Asian women.

The paper investigates how individual-specific microbial functions and host-microbe interactions influence skin recovery after barrier disruption in a human cohort.

This study examines the Yanomami skin microbiome, revealing high microbial complexity and novel taxa that challenge the Western-centric view of a healthy skin microbiome.

The paper identifies prevalent skin microbiome configurations (dermotypes) across body sites and links them to host factors and disease risk.

The paper investigates how life stages affect the human skin microbiome and lipid mediators, finding microbial correlations with lipid profiles and cytokine production.

The paper describes a bicistronic vector using a Picornavirus 2A peptide to express mCherry in Malassezia, enabling functional studies and gene co-expression.

The paper identifies centromere regions in Malassezia species and shows that centromere loss drives karyotype evolution by causing chromosome breakage and fusion.
