Mast Cells: A New Frontier for Cancer Immunotherapy
Cells, 2021 Mast cells are unique tissue-resident immune cells of the myeloid lineage that have long been implicated in the pathogenesis of allergic and autoimmune disorders. More recently, mast cells have been recognized as key orchestrators of anti-tumor immunity,

Human placental extract suppresses mast cell activation and induces mast cell apoptosis
Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, 2023 Background Human placental extract (HPE) has been documented to facilitate the healing of certain disorders including allergy. However, the effects of HPE on the functionality of mast cells, a critical cell type in allergic diseases, have not been ...

Functional and Phenotypic Characterization of Siglec-6 on Human Mast Cells
Cells, 2022 Mast cells are tissue-resident cells that contribute to allergic diseases, among others, due to excessive or inappropriate cellular activation and degranulation. Therapeutic approaches to modulate mast cell activation are urgently needed.

Mast Cells and Neuroinflammation [PDF]
Medical Science Monitor Basic Research, 2014 It has been determined that there is extensive communication between the immune system and the central nervous system (CNS). Proinflammatory cytokines play a key role in this communication. There is an emerging realization that glia and microglia, in particular, (which are the brain's resident macrophages), are an important source of inflammatory ...
