  Mast cell networks

  Mast cell networks

  Tissue-resident mast cells (cyan) are abundant in the mouse skin, where individual cells distribute homogeneously throughout the dermis, localizing in the interstitial space between nerve bundles, hair follicles, fat cells and various blood vessel types (blue, red). Thus, the whole population of dermal mast cells covers and surveys the entire tissue.

  Tissue-resident macrophages (red) and some sparely distributed dendritic cells (yellow) fill the dermis of the mouse skin, localizing in the interstitial space nerve bundles, hair follicles, fat cells and various blood vessel types (blue).
