Das Immunsystem der Haut

The skin provides the most important barrier against environmental influences. Protection against pathogens, wound healing, regeneration and the development of immune tolerance are main functions of the skin immune system. Over the last years spectacular findings about the skin immune system have been published, e. g., detection of new cell subtypes, a better understanding of cell interactions and the development of specific immune therapies. Therefore research and developments in dermato-immunology often provide the basis for advances in various other areas of medicine.
