The skin provides a life-sustaining interface between the body and the external environment. A dynamic communication among immune and non-immune cells in the skin is essential to ensure body homeostasis. Dysregulated cellular communication can lead to the manifestation of inflammatory skin conditions. In this review, we will focus on the following two key frontiers in the skin: innate immune sensors and cell death, as well as their cellular crosstalk in the context of skin homeostasis and inflammation. This review will highlight the recent advancements and mechanisms of how these pathways integrate signals and orchestrate skin immunity, focusing on inflammatory skin diseases and skin infections in mice and humans.

Cells of the Innate Immune Response
Phagocytes
Phagocytes police the peripheral tissues by removing cellular debris and responding to the invasion of foreign substances or pathogens. Many phagocytes attack and remove microorganisms even before lymphocytes detect them. The human body has two general...
Inflammatory Response
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...

Introduction to Innate and Adaptive Immunity
Innate immunity is the body's natural, nonspecific defense system that acts quickly to protect against pathogens. It incorporates physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes and cellular elements such as phagocytes and natural killer cells. This part of our immune system provides an immediate,...
