Tobacco Cells

Touton cells were first described in 1858 by German dermatologist Karl Touton. These are specialized cells that are found in the dermis of human skin.

Tuton cells play an important role in the skin's immune system. They are part of the innate immune system and help protect the skin from pathogens. When pathogens penetrate the epidermis, Tutona cells phagocytose them and release cytokines to attract other immune cells.

Tuton cells are also involved in skin inflammatory reactions. When the skin is damaged or irritated, they release chemical mediators that cause inflammation and an influx of immune cells to the site of injury.

In addition, tutona cells play a role in the processes of regeneration and scarring of the skin. They release growth factors and cytokines that stimulate fibroblast growth and re-epithelialization during wound healing.

Thus, tutona cells perform many important functions in maintaining skin health and immunity. Their discovery by Karl Touton in the 19th century allowed us to better understand the mechanisms of skin function.
