Abstract

Hair follicles have recently emerged as immunologically active organs that orchestrate recruitment and trafficking of immune cells within skin. Liu et al. (2018) expand our knowledge in this growing area of research by characterizing the network of immune cell interactions during experimental contact hypersensitivity that, interestingly, is centered around hair follicles.
