Microbiota-derived butyrate promotes dermal collagen production through epidermal-dermal crosstalk
2026-06-16
Abstract excerpt
The commensal microbiota actively shapes skin homeostasis by regulating immune responses and barrier function, yet interactions with the dermis and dermal fibroblasts remain poorly defined. Here, we show that the commensal microbiota regulates dermal collagen homeostasis through epidermal-mediated signaling. Transcriptomic analysis revealed enrichment of extracellular matrix (ECM)-associated gene programs in the d...
