The interaction between mast cells and other immune cells at sites of allergic responses has been largely unexplored. A research group at the MPI of Immunobiology and Epigenetics used specialized ...

The function of mast cells, which are part of the immune system, is still a mystery. Scientists at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have now shown that in mice mast cells function as a sensor ...

Known for their role in allergic reactions, mast cells have long been recognised as key players in our immune system. When they encounter allergens, they release chemicals that trigger typical allergy ...

Mast cells are long‐lived, tissue‐resident immune cells derived from the myeloid lineage and strategically positioned at barrier surfaces such as skin, airways and the gastrointestinal tract. Their ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers used a mouse model to show that mast cells and immunoglobulin E (IgE) are the key orchestrators of antigen-specific avoidance, a behavioral ...

Mast cells are immune cells that responds to different pathogens, such as bacteria and parasites. In response to these pathogens, mast cells release different chemicals, such as histamine and heparin, ...
