title: Changing views on Langerhans cell functions in leishmaniasis.
abstract: The different functions of skin dendritic cell subsets during Leishmania infection were recently reviewed by Ritter and Osterloh. In their article, they propose a new role for epidermal Langerhans cells and dermal dendritic cells to explain the events that take place after inoculation by Leishmania.
