NK cells in hypoxic skin mediate a trade-off between wound healing and antibacterial defence
During wound healing and infection in the skin there is a hypoxic environment involving HIF-1α and NK cells. Here the authors show that NK cells through HIF-1α provide a cross-regulatory balance to provide an adequate antimicrobial defence that can inhibit subsequent wound healing.
