Langerhans cells (LCs) are distinct among phagocytes, functioning both as embryo-derived, tissue-resident macrophages in skin innervation and repair and as migrating professional antigen-presenting cells, a function classically assigned to dendritic cells (DCs). Here, we demonstrate that both intrinsic and extrinsic factors imprint this dual identity. Using ablation of embryo-derived LCs in the murine adult skin and tracking differentiation of incoming monocyte-derived replacements, we found intrinsic intraepidermal heterogeneity.

Background: Elicitation of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), an inflammatory type 4 hypersensitivity disease, induces skin infiltration by polyclonal effector CD8 αβ T cells and precursors of tissue-resident memory T (T) cells. Because T have long-term potential to contribute to body-surface immunoprotection and immunopathology, their local regulation needs a fuller understanding.
Objective: We sought to investigate how T-cell maturation might be influenced by innate-like T cells pre-existing within many epithelia.

Some intraepidermal lesions, even the nonmelanocytic ones, may mimic melanoma in situ. The cytoplasmic clarity in atypical basal cells, architectural disorder with cell aggregates or nest-like structures within the epidermis often cause challenge particularly in sun-damaged skin. The aim of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of the most often used immunohistochemical melanocyte markers in the diagnosis of intraepidermal lesions.

Background: Atypical intraepidermal melanocytic proliferations (AIMP) is a descriptive term sometimes applied to biopsies that do not fulfill diagnostic criteria of melanoma. They are common on sun-damaged skin, but their definition and management are controversial.
Objective: To describe dermoscopic (DS), reflectance confocal microscopic (RCM) and histopathological features of AIMP and identify features associated with subsequent melanoma in situ (MIS).
