Hair of the mouse: A skin bacteria "cocktail" gets follicles back on their feet

Abstract

Microbes can boost cutaneous immune defense and skin reparative capacity. However, mechanistic understanding, especially of the latter, remains sparse. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Wang et al. (2021) shed light on this, demonstrating that bacteria contribute to hair follicle neogenesis after skin wounding via keratinocyte-intrinsic IL-1R1 signaling.
