ABSTRACT Background Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a mast cell‐driven condition defined by recurrent wheals and/or angioedema lasting over 6 weeks without an identifiable trigger. Though CSU is known to co‐occur with atopic diseases and share Th2‐dominant immunologic pathways, prior studies have not adequately addressed these relationships in ...

Polyphenolic Activation of Basophils Explains Alcohol Hypersensitivity in AERD
The mechanism behind alcohol sensitivity in AERD has not been previously characterized. This study demonstrates the activation of basophils in patients with CRSwNP and AERD by polyphenolic compounds, but not ethanol. Since these compounds can be found in alcoholic beverages in similar frequencies by which they trigger symptoms, this research provides a

Stains Induce Apoptosis and Autophagy in Primary and Transformed Mast Cells [PDF]
Statin drugs are widely employed in the clinic to reduce serum low density lipoproteins (LDLs) in patients with hypocholesteremia. In addition to their cholesterol-lowering effects through HMG CoA reductase antagonism, isoprenyl lipids necessary for ...

Protein glycosylation in lung cancer from a mass spectrometry perspective
Abstract Lung cancer is a severe disease for which better diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Increasing evidence implies that aberrant protein glycosylation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of lung cancer.

CRISPR Enabled Precision Oncology: From Gene Editing to Tumor Microenvironment Remodeling
CRISPR technology has progressed from a prokaryotic immune system to a diverse suite of editing platforms, including Cas nucleases, base and prime editors, and RNA‐targeting enzymes. These advances enable precise genomic and epigenomic interventions, high‐throughput functional screening, and immune engineering.

A platelet alpha-granule membrane protein (GMP-140) is expressed on the plasma membrane after activation. [PDF]
We have previously characterized a monoclonal antibody, S12, that binds only to activated platelets (McEver, R.P., and M.N. Martin, 1984, J. Biol. Chem., 259:9799-9804). It identifies a platelet membrane protein of Mr 140,000, which we have designated as
