Epidermis, Langerhans cells, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, MacrophagesAbstract
Langerhans cells are found in the suprabasal layers of the epidermis and here they play an important immunological role related to immune surveillance, antigen processing and tolerance induction. These cells have similar characteristics to dendritic cells and macrophages, which gives them great versatility and allows them to develop unique functions. Additionally, Langerhans cells are involved in the pathogenesis of various dermatoses ranging from infectious to tumoral and they are an interesting target for the therapy of many dermatological diseases
