Brief description With inflammation of the skin due to excessive sun exposure or chemicals, biological signals are sent to the bone marrow where immune fighting cells are generated. However, the immune system must not overreact. We have measured bone marrow derived immune cells with reduced function following skin inflammation which we propose is part of homeostasis. We need to better understand how these cells are altered and for how long they are altered.
