This work uncovers how early-life crosstalk between commensal microbes and myeloid immune cells in the developing skin barrier is pivotal in shaping long-term tissue health and in preventing chronic inflammatory disease.

3. Loss of monocytes in early-life leads to an increased susceptibility to psoriasiform inflammation in adulthood 4. Neonatal monocytes regulate IL-1 signaling to suppress spontaneous IL-17 production from cutaneous T cells.

Significant highlights: 1. We identify that commensal microbes recruit monocytes to the neonatal skin 2. Disruption in this early-life accumulation of monocytes leads to spontaneous production of the inflammatory cytokine IL-17 from T cells later in life

Excited, grateful, and proud to share our latest research published in Immunity. None of this would have been possible without contributions from all our co-authors, across institutions. Shoutout to @scharschmidtlab.bsky.social for her unwavering support over the years! www.cell.com/immunity/ful...
Model describing how commensal microbes drive the accumulation of Monocytes to the neonatal skin. Depleting these monocytes in the neonatal window leads to an IL-1 dependent aberrant release of IL-17 from cutaneous T cells later in life. This renders mice more susceptible to psoriasiform inflammation in adulthood.
