Following skin transplantation, cutaneous dendritic cells, including Langerhans cells and dermal dendritic cells, migrate to the recipient's draining lymph nodes where they present donor antigens ...

The next challenge for skin biologists is to identify precise molecular links between the confederacy of inflammatory cells triggered by cytokine activation in the dermis, and the subsequent ...
