Abstract

Epidermal stem cells display remarkable capacities to restore the barrier upon skin injury. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Huang et al. (2021) use innovative high-resolution intravital imaging to identify a vital function of sensory nerves in regulating a subset of epidermal stem cells for wound repair.
