January 2023 in “Frontiers in Veterinary Science” Buffalo fly infestation in north Australian cattle herds causes alopecic, hyperkeratotic, or scab-encrusted lesions, sometimes with hemorrhagic ulceration. This study examined the role of the filarial nematode Stephanofilaria and other factors in lesion development. Stephanofilaria was found in 31% of lesions, which were more severe than those without the nematode. Bacterial infections were noted in 19 lesions, leading to higher ulceration and epidermal disruption. No infections were found in 49% of lesions, suggesting hypersensitivity to buffalo fly feeding as a possible cause. The study concludes that while Stephanofilaria exacerbates lesion severity, it is not essential for lesion development, and bacteria and hypersensitivity also play roles.

January 2023 in “Science Advances” The study shows that the commensal microbiome promotes hair follicle regeneration by inducing keratinocyte HIF-1α signaling and enhancing glutamine metabolism. This metabolic shift improves the regenerative capacity of skin and hair follicles following injury. Using a wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis (WIHN) model in mice, researchers found a positive correlation between bacterial load, glutamine metabolism, and regeneration. In human skin wounds, topical broad-spectrum antibiotics inhibited glutamine production and reduced healing. The findings suggest that the skin microbiome's modulation of metabolism can significantly enhance stem cell tolerance to damage and improve regenerative outcomes in both mice and humans.
