Rapid Mast Cell Generation from Gata2 Reporter Pluripotent Stem Cells
Summary: Mast cells are tissue-resident immune cells. Their overgrowth/overactivation results in a range of common distressing, sometimes life-threatening disorders, including asthma, psoriasis, anaphylaxis, and mastocytosis. Currently, drug discovery is

Differential Diagnoses of Systemic Mastocytosis in Routinely Processed Bone Marrow Biopsy Specimens: A Review [PDF]
Diagnosis of systemic mastocytosis (SM) is mainly based on the morphological demonstration of compact mast cell infiltrates in various tissue sites. In almost all patients such infiltrates are detected in the bone marrow.

Mast Cells and Their Progenitors in Allergic Asthma
Mast cells and their mediators have been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma and allergy for decades. Allergic asthma is a complex chronic lung disease in which several different immune cells, genetic factors and environmental exposures influence ...

The role of mast cells in oral squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]
The mast cells are initial effective lineage in both humoral and adaptive immunity. They are ubiquitous in skin, mucosa, and in function. They contain biologically essential and dynamic mediators in healthy and harmful conditions of tissue.

Mast cells are primary effector cells of allergy, and recruitment of mast cells in involved tissue is one of the key events in allergic inflammation. Tryptase is the most abundant secretory product of mast cells, but little is known of its influence on ...

Involvement of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 in the Inflammatory Responses of Human LAD2 Mast Cells and Basophils [PDF]
We recently showed that hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) plays a crucial role in the pro-allergic functions of human basophils by transcriptional control of energy metabolism via glycolysis as well as directly triggering expression of the angiogenic ...

KIT mutation analysis in mast cell neoplasms: recommendations of the European competence network on mastocytosis [PDF]
Although acquired mutations in KIT are commonly detected in various categories of mastocytosis, the methodologies applied to detect and quantify the mutant type and allele burden in cells and various tissues are poorly defined.

Innate Immunity Induces the Accumulation of Lung Mast Cells During Influenza Infection
Mast cells release disease-causing mediators and accumulate in the lung of asthmatics. The most common cause of exacerbations of asthma is respiratory virus infections such as influenza. Recently, we demonstrated that influenza infection in mice triggers

Pathways involved in gut mucosal barrier dysfunction induced in adult rats by maternal deprivation: corticotrophin-releasing factor and nerve growth factor interplay [PDF]
Neonatal maternal deprivation (NMD) increases gut paracellular permeability (GPP) through mast cells and nerve growth factor (NGF), and modifies corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) and corticosterone levels.
