The lectin ArtinM induces recruitment of rat mast cells from the bone marrow to the peritoneal cavity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: The D-mannose binding lectin ArtinM is known to recruit neutrophils, to degranulate mast cells and may have potential therapeutic applications. However, the effect of ArtinM on mast cell recruitment has not been investigated.

IgE Autoreactivity in Atopic Dermatitis: Paving the Road for Autoimmune Diseases?
Antibodies, 2020 Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common skin disease affecting 20% of the population beginning usually before one year of age. It is associated with the emergence of allergen-specific IgE, but also with autoreactive IgE, whose function remain elusive.

Semaphorin-3 Promotes Specific Immunotherapy Effects on Experimental Food Allergy
Journal of Immunology Research, 2022 Sustaining higher frequency of mast cells in the allergic lesion site has been recognized. Factors causing high numbers of mast cells in the local tissues are not fully understood yet.

Current Gastroenterology Reports, 2010 Mast cells have been considered for many years to participate specifically in allergic reactions through the release of cytokines, chemokines, proteases, leukotrienes, and bioactive polyamines. Emerging roles for mast cells have been identified recently, which highlight their relevance in both innate and adaptive immunity.

Regulation of osteoclastogenesis by mast cell in rheumatoid arthritis
Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2021 Background In the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the role of mast cells has not been revealed clearly. We aimed to define the inflammatory and tissue-destructive roles of mast cells in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Rapid Mast Cell Generation from Gata2 Reporter Pluripotent Stem Cells
Stem Cell Reports, 2018 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

Mast cell glycosaminoglycans [PDF]
Glycoconjugate Journal, 2016 Mast cells contain granules packed with a mixture of proteins that are released on degranulation. The proteoglycan serglycin carries an array of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) side chains, sometimes heparin, sometimes chondroitin or dermatan sulphate. Tight packing of granule proteins is dependent on the presence of serglycin carrying these GAGs.

Harnessing the Power of Mast Cells in unconventional Immunotherapy Strategies and Vaccine Adjuvants
Cells, 2020 Mast cells are long-lived, granular, myeloid-derived leukocytes that have significant protective and repair functions in tissues. Mast cells sense disruptions in the local microenvironment and are first responders to physical, chemical and biological ...
