Abstract
The multiple layers of the skin cover and protect our entire body. Among the skin layers, the epidermis is in direct contact with the outer environment and serves as the first line of defense. The epidermis functions as a physical and immunological barrier. To maintain barrier function, the epidermis continually regenerates and repairs itself when injured. Interactions between tissue-resident immune cells and epithelial cells are essential to sustain epidermal regeneration and repair. In this review, we will dissect the crosstalk between epithelial cells and specific immune cell populations located in the epidermis during homeostasis and wound repair. In addition, we will analyze the contribution of dysregulated immune-epithelial interactions in chronic inflammatory diseases.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Stem Cells (Int J Stem Cells), a peer-reviewed open access journal, principally aims to provide a forum for investigators in the field of stem cell biology to present their research findings and share their visions and opinions. Int J Stem Cells covers all aspects of stem cell biology including basic, clinical and translational research on genetics, biochemistry, and physiology of various types of stem cells including embryonic, adult and induced stem cells. Reports on epigenetics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics of stem cells are welcome as well. Int J Stem Cells also publishes review articles, technical reports and treatise on ethical issues.
