Today we bring you a <\/span>compilation of the <\/b>\u201cNews from the Lab\u201d<\/i><\/b> articles published throughout 2025; a window onto the science in action that’s supported by \u201dla Caixa\u201d Foundation.<\/b><\/p>\n The skin isn’t only the largest organ in our body but is also our first major protective barrier, defending the body from bacteria, harmful chemicals and extreme temperatures. <\/span>But<\/b> what do its physical well-being and resilience depend on?<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Andr\u00e9s Hidalgo<\/b><\/a>, Health Research researcher 20218, and \u201dla Caixa\u201d Foundation fellow <\/span>Tommaso Vicanolo<\/b><\/a>, both researchers at CNIC, have found the answer in neutrophils. Their findings indicate that this kind of immune cell is capable of modifying the resistance and permeability of the skin.
