A model implicating the Langerhans cell in keratinocyte proliferation control

C S Potten et al. Differentiation. .

Abstract

A tentative model is presented which is based on existing data and our own cell kinetic and morphological observations in mice. The model suggests that the epidermal Langerhans cell plays a role in proliferation control of keratinocytes and may also act as an epidermal stem cell.
