    Glossary Langerhans cells

    specialized immune cells in the skin's outer layer

    Langerhans cells are specialized immune cells found in the skin's outer layer, the epidermis. They play a crucial role in detecting and presenting foreign substances to the immune system, helping to initiate an immune response. These cells are essential for skin health and protection against infections.
