Depletion of langerin ⁺ cells enhances cutaneous wound healing

Summary Langerin is a C‐type lectin receptor that is expressed on Langerhans cells and langerin‐positive dermal dendritic cells in the skin. Little is known about the function of langerin + cells in wound healing. In this study, the effects of ablation of langerin + cells on healing of a full‐thickness excision wound were investigated using the langerin‐DTR depletable mouse. Strikingly, depletion of langerin + cells resulted in more rapid...
