Skin-Resident T Cells Sense Ultraviolet Radiation–Induced Injury and Contribute to DNA Repair
8 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
Skin-resident T cells have been shown to play important roles in tissue homeostasis and wound repair, but their role in UV radiation (UVR)-mediated skin injury and subsequent tissue regeneration is less clear. In this study, we demonstrate that acute UVR rapidly activates skin-resident T cells in humans and dendritic epidermal γδ T cells (DETCs) in mice through mechanisms involving the release of ATP from...
