Distinct postnatal trajectories of mouse dendritic epidermal T cells and Langerhans cells independent of microbiota
The mouse epidermis harbors two key resident immune populations—dendritic epidermal T cells (DETCs), a subset of invariant γδ T cells, and Langerhans cells (LCs), specialized tissue-resident macrophages—both of which play critical roles in immune surveillance, barrier integrity, and tissue homeostasis. While their feta...
