Getting physically injured is no fun—it can often take long periods of time to recover. What if we could accelerate the wound healing process? Here, Kellen dissects an original article, titled “The commensal skin microbiota triggers type I IFN-dependent innate repair responses in injured skin”, that reveals mechanisms underlying skin injury and identifies novel therapeutic approaches to speed up healing. The report was written by Jeremy Di Domizio et al. and was published in Nature Immunology in July of 2020.
