Abstract:
This presentation deals with the key role of the skin in immune function, briefly reviewing what is known about the cell trafficking patterns and molecular events involved in the generation of a specific immune response in the skin. Such information provides a basis for understanding the pathogenesis of autoimmunity-related diseases, and may provide clues to eventual therapeutic approaches.
