    specialized skin cells that defend against infections and damage

    Dermal immune cells are specialized cells located in the skin's dermis layer that play a crucial role in the body's immune response. They help protect against infections, heal wounds, and maintain skin health by identifying and responding to pathogens, damaged cells, and other harmful stimuli. These cells include various types such as macrophages, dendritic cells, and T cells, each with specific functions in immune surveillance and response.
