#28: Hidradenitis Suppurativa
<p>In this episode of Inflammatory Content, Dr. Kellen Cavagnero explores the debilitating skin disease hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and takes a deep dive into a recent Immunity paper that comprehensively examines the role of tertiary lymphoid structures in HS pathogenesis. HS has long defied simple classification, with prevailing disease models emphasizing hair follicle dysfunction, aberrant wound healing, or chronic inflammation. This work adds a new dimension by implicating autoimmunity as a central contributor to HS pathogenesis, further underscoring the complexity of the disease.</p><p><br></p><p>Relevant Links:</p><p>• Paper: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12404358/</p><p>• Commentary: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11790253/</p><p><br></p><p>If you enjoy Inflammatory Content and want to help me keep the conversations going, consider supporting the podcast!

#27: A Surprising New Role for Neutrophils in Wound Healing
<p>In this episode of Inflammatory Content, Dr. Kellen Cavagnero breaks down a new Nature paper showing that a subset of skin neutrophils doesn’t just fight bacteria—they also build extracellular matrix (ECM). After injury, these neutrophils rapidly assemble rings of ECM around the wound that strengthen the barrier and limit bacterial entry. This program depends on TGF-β signaling within neutrophils; when that pathway is disabled, the rings fail to form and bacteria penetrate more easily. </p><p><br></p><p>Relevant Links:</p><p>• Paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40108463/</p><p>• Commentary: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41577-025-01170-5</p><p><br></p><p>If you enjoy Inflammatory Content and want to help me keep the conversations going, consider supporting the podcast!
