Editorial: Targeting human inflammatory skin diseases with natural products: exploring potential mechanisms and regulatory pathways

For decades, researchers have explored the potential of natural products with immunomodulatory and antioxidant effects for targeting human skin diseases. Skin diseases can be caused by multiple factors including exposure to allergens, genetic inheritance, as well as autoimmune responses, and they cause major health concerns. The use of natural products is gaining popularity due to their long history of use and as a potential source of biologically active agents with anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and chemo-preventive effects. Thus, natural products are continuously being explored for targeting multiple signaling pathways and acting as potential bioactive agents for targeting skin diseases. In this Research Topic, a total of eleven articles were published, illustrating the immunomodulatory mechanisms and regulatory pathways of diverse natural products and their formulations in targeting human skin diseases.
