Hair Care: Stem Cells Control Immune Response During Wound Repair

    May 2024 in “ Immunity ”
    Shannon McCarthy, Judith Agudo
    Studysummary In this study, Luan et al. showed that epidermal stem cells play a key role in wound healing by coordinating the recruitment of regulatory T cells and neutrophils, which help balance immune tolerance and inflammation.
