Sebaceous immunobiology - skin homeostasis, pathophysiology, coordination of innate immunity and inflammatory response and disease associations

Key Findings:  This review discusses the activity of the sebaceous gland and the many complex systems that help regulate the inflammatory and immune processes of the cutaneous system and related skin and hair diseases. Among them include the endocannabinoid system, along with sex hormones, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ligands, neuro peptides, and a selective apoptotic process.
