Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: As mediators between innate and adaptive immune responses, Langerhans cells (LCs) are in the focus of recent investigations to determine their role in allergic inflammatory diseases like allergic contact dermatitis and atopic dermatitis. Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a crucial lipid mediator in the skin and potentially interferes with LC homeostasis but also functional properties, such as cytokine...
