      abstract = {This book reviews the role of each cell subset in the  skin, providing the basics for understanding skin  immunology and the mechanisms of skin diseases. The skin is  one of the immune organs and is continually exposed to  foreign antigens and external stimuli that must be  monitored and characterized for possible elimination. Upon  exposure to foreign antigens, the skin can elicit a variety  of immune responses in harmony with skin components that  include keratinocytes, dendritic cell subsets, mast cells,  basophils, fibroblasts, macrophages, gamma-delta T cells,  neutrophils, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, vascular and  lymphatic cells, hair follicles, platelets, and adipose  tissues, among others. In the past 10 years, knowledge of  immunology has expanded drastically in areas such as innate  immunity (Toll-like receptors, C-type lectins), and host  defenses to bacteria and viruses, and this increased  knowledge has led to the development of more effective  treatment of psoriasis and other skin diseases. This book  provides updates on the mechanisms of skin diseases  including contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis,  urticaria, drug eruption, bullous diseases, anaphylaxis,  graft-versus-host disease, rosacea, lymphoma,  photodermatology, and collagen vascular diseases.  Understanding the basics of skin immunology will help  clinicians and dermatologists use new therapeutics such as  biologics efficiently. Serving as an intermediary between  basic science and clinical medicine, this book gives  readers the opportunity to understand and marvel at the  mystery and fascination of skin immunology.},
