On this Monday , check out our and Core's image of Langerhans cells and nerve fibers intertwining in a cross-section of hind paw skin. Individual nerve fibers travel into the epidermis and terminate in free nerve endings for sensory reception, while the immune cells sample the environment for pathogens and act as antigen-presenting cells for immune system activation. MHCII+ Langerhans cells (magenta), Beta-3 tubulin (yellow). .
