title: Inflammatory Langerhans cell differentiation.
abstract: In this issue of Blood, Martinez-Cingolani et al identified that human thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), previously shown to be induced during skin inflammation, stimulates myeloid-related BDCA-11 peripheral blood dendritic cells (DCs) to rapidly gain phenotypic characteristics of human epidermal Langerhans cells (LCs).
