Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The skin is the outermost organ of the body and is constantly exposed to external pathogens. During inflammation, various immune cells traverse, reside in, or are recruited by the skin to orchestrate various cutaneous immune responses and metabolic processes. To accomplish this, immune cells interact with each other and even communicate with non-immune cells, including peripheral nerves and the microbiota. Immunologically important anatomical sites such as skin appendages (e.g., hair follicles and sweat glands) or postcapillary venules serve as specialized portals for immune cells and for the establishment of tertiary lymphoid structures, including inducible skin-associated lymphoid tissues. In this Special Issue, we review key findings and concepts of metabolism as it relates to skin anatomy and discuss how skin immune cells fine-tune physiological responses in the skin.
