The skin seems to be able to produce its own antibodies to keep microbes in check. 'When the immune system sees a friendly bacterium, you would think that it would just give a friendly wave,' says microbiologist Michael Fischbach. However, research finds that in mice, the skin generates antibodies even when other immune components are disabled, showcasing a profound ability to protect against pathogens.

In a recent study on intermittent fasting, it was observed that the regime induces a stress response notably hindering hair growth. Shaved mice that underwent intermittent fasting showed significantly less hair regrowth compared to those with unrestricted eating. This was linked to the death of hair-follicle stem cells, showcasing the physiological consequences of restrictive eating patterns.
