Abstract excerpt
Dermal dendrocytes (DDs) are bone marrow-derived cells which are abundant in normal human and murine dermis, where they are closely associated with mast cells in the perivascular space. The biological role of DDs remains enigmatic. DDs express coagulation factor XIIIa and the recently described von Willebrand factor receptor, GPIb alpha, potentially indicating a function in tissue repair and haemostasis, although...
