An improved ontological representation of dendritic cells as a paradigm for all cell types [PDF]
The Cell Ontology (CL) is designed to provide a standardized representation of cell types for data annotation. Currently, the CL employs multiple is_a relations, defining cell types in terms of histological, functional, and lineage properties, and the ...

Rho-associated kinase regulates Langerhans cell morphology and responsiveness to tissue damage
Summary: Skin damage requires efficient immune cell responses to restore organ function. Epidermal-resident immune cells known as Langerhans cells use dendritic protrusions to surveil the skin microenvironment, which contains keratinocytes and peripheral

Three cases of congenital self‐healing Langerhans cell histiocytosis with BRAF‐V600E mutation
Congenital self‐healing Langerhans cell histiocytosis (CSHLCH) is a rare variant of Langerhans cell histiocytosis characterised by the presence of skin lesions in the neonate and spontaneous self‐healing after a variable period of time.
