Skin regional differences in regeneration and autoimmune disease

Skin physically protects our body from the external environment. Inherent genetic defects and acquired common skin diseases that affect skin function have detrimental effect to our health or survival. The aberrant activation of immune cell activity can provoke common skin autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis and vitiligo, which are often characterized by bilateral symmetric lesions at preferred anatomic regions of the body. Understanding what orchestrates patterned cutaneous immune cell activities at the whole organ level is necessary for developing effective treatments for these diseases.
