N2 - The skin carries out specialist functions such as barrier formation and thermoregulation. The mode of cellular replenishment of the surface epithelium that forms the outermost layer during steady-state homeostasis is a subject of intensive investigations. A detailed analysis of the interfollicular epidermis reported in this issue of The EMBO Journal (Roy et al, 2016) reveals that hair follicles in their growth phase influence cellular behaviour of epithelial cells in their immediate proximity.
