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.

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.

Cell Communication and Signaling, 2018 Background Mast cells may activate fibroblasts and contribute to remodeling processes in the lung. However, the mechanism behind these actions needs to be further investigated. Fibroblasts are major regulators of on-going remodeling processes.

Local Mast Cell Activation Promotes Neovascularization
Cells, 2020 Mast cells have been associated with arteriogenesis and collateral formation. In advanced human atherosclerotic plaques, mast cells have been shown to colocalize with plaque neovessels, and mast cells have also been associated with tumor vascularization.

British Journal of Haematology, 2005 In May 2003, a 65-year-old white male presented with weight loss, night sweats, pruritus, diarrhoea, and joint pain. Radiographic studies showed hepatosplenomegaly, abdominal lymphadenopathy and both osteoblastic and osteolytic bone lesions. Bone marrow biopsy showed extensive mast cell infiltration and effacement of marrow structure with reduction of ...

Interleukin-33 and Mast Cells Bridge Innate and Adaptive Immunity: From the Allergologist’s Perspective [PDF]
International Neurourology Journal, 2015 Interleukin (IL) 33, a member of the IL-1 superfamily, is an “alarmin” protein and is secreted in its active form from damaged cells undergoing necrotic cell death. Mast cells are one of the main effector cell types in allergic disorders.

Mast Cells and Skin and Breast Cancers: A Complicated and Microenvironment-Dependent Role
Cells, 2021 Mast cells are important sentinel cells in host defense against infection and major effector cells in allergic disease. The role of these cells in cancer settings has been widely debated.

Isolation and Culture of Peritoneal Cell-derived Mast Cells
Bio-Protocol, 2014 The generation of mast cells for in vitro studies comes from a variety of sources including mast cell lines (MC/9) (McCurdy et al., 2001), bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) (Supajatura et al., 2001), skin-derived mast cells (FSMCs) (Matsushima et al.
