Abstract
Accurate wound repair is a crucial step to protect organisms from environmental damage, for example infection and toxin exposure. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Miyoshi et al (2017) have elucidated a new mechanism underpinning this process within the intestine where mesenchymal prostaglandin E2 produced following damage drives intestinal regeneration.
