Mast cell leukemia (MCL) is a quick-progressing condition that leads to the buildup of mast cells in your bone marrow and other tissues. It falls into a group of diseases collectively known as ...

According to a recent review, data suggest mast cells have an important role in tissue homeostasis and wound healing, with mass cell dysregulation potentially leading to fibrotic disease. Increased ...

This scanning electron microscopy image captures the moment where degranulating mast cells (pseudo-colored in sepia) attract and start to incorporate living neutrophils (pseudo-colored in cyan), ...

Mast cell activation syndrome, or disease (MCAS), is a condition that causes mast cells to release these substances too frequently, resulting in severe allergic reactions. After detecting an allergen, ...

Objectives: The cellular basis of painful tendon overuse pathology (tendinosis) is poorly understood. It has been suggested that because of the close anatomical associations between mast cells and ...

Certain immune cells backstab their cellular coworkers during allergic reactions. Mast cells, the security patrols of the immune system, can trigger allergic inflammation when they run into unfamiliar ...

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 in mice: mast cells function as a sensor that ...
