Autocrine/paracrine TGFβ1 is required for the development of epidermal Langerhans cells
Langerhans cells (LCs) are bone marrow (BM)–derived epidermal dendritic cells (DCs) that develop from precursors found in the dermis. Epidermal LCs are absent in transforming growth factor (TGF) β1-deficient mice. It is not clear whether TGFβ1 acts directly on LC precursors to promote maturation or...
