The number of immune cells is lower in healthy oral mucosa compared to skin and does not increase after scarring

Highlights • The number of several immune cells was compared between human skin and oral mucosa. • Oral mucosa had significantly fewer immune cells than skin. • More blood vessels were present in the oral mucosa compared to skin. • Scars contained similar numbers of immune cells compared to healthy...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • The number of several immune cells was compared between human skin and oral mucosa. • Oral mucosa had significantly fewer immune cells than skin. • More blood vessels were present in the oral mucosa compared to skin. • Scars contained similar numbers of immune cells compared to healthy tissues. • Less immune cells in the healthy oral mucosa could improve repair.
