Abstract

In this issue of Immunity, Xu et al. reveal that dermal dendritic cells produce interleukin-31, which acts on neurons to promote wound itch. Their findings link itch associated with deeper wounds—wounds that extend beyond the epithelium—to the cells and cytokines that mediate wound healing.
