Skin is the largest organ of the body with a complex network of multitude of cell types that perform plastic and dynamic cellular communication to maintain several vital processes such as inflammation, immune response including induction of tolerance and disease prevention, wound healing, and angiogenesis. Of paramount importance are immunological functions of the skin that protect from harmful exposure coming from external and internal environments. Awareness of skin immunity can provide a better comprehension of inflammation, autoimmunity, cancer, graft-versus-host disease, vaccination, and immunotherapy approaches. This paper will update on what we currently know about immune sentinels contributing to skin immunity.
皮肤是人体最大的器官,拥有复杂的多种细胞类型网络,这些细胞通过可塑性和动态细胞通讯来维持多种重要过程,如炎症、免疫应答(包括诱导耐受和疾病预防)、伤口愈合和血管生成。皮肤的免疫功能至关重要,它可以保护人体免受来自内外环境的有害暴露。了解皮肤免疫可以更好地理解炎症、自身免疫、癌症、移植物抗宿主病、疫苗接种和免疫治疗方法。本文将更新目前关于有助于皮肤免疫的免疫哨兵的了解。
