The microbiome in arguably sterile tissues has received considerable attention in the last few years. A recent report by Leinwand and colleagues disentangles host-microbe interactions in the mammalian liver. The authors demonstrate that a distinct liver microbiome controls hepatic immune responses in mice, challenging the perception of a sterile liver.
