Langerhans Cells
Langerhans cells are a type of immune cell found in the skin and mucous membranes. They are important for the body's immune system as they are responsible for capturing antigens from the environment, which are then presented to other immune cells to mount an immune response. Langerhans cells can also produce cytokines, which are molecules that help coordinate the body's response to a threat. This makes them vital for helping the body fight against infections and allergens. They also play a role in helping to heal wounds.
