Immune cells and bacteria surround skin wound
Immunofluorescent image of immune cells surrounding a skin wound, enriched in the beneficial bacteria S. epidermidis.
Beneficial bacteria on mice skin work with the animals’ immune systems to defend against disease-causing microbes and accelerate wound healing, according to new research from NIH scientists, published in January 2018. These insights may inform wound management techniques.
