Chronic allergen challenge induces bronchial mast cell accumulation in BALB/c but not C57BL/6 mice and is independent of IL-9 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
As genetically engineered mutant mice deficient in single genes are usually generated on a C57BL/6 background, to study mast cell trafficking in mutant mice, we initially investigated whether mast cells accumulated in bronchi in C57BL/6 mice challenged ...

siRNA knockdown of SPHK1 in vivo protects mice from systemic, type-I Allergy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Systemic anaphylaxis is considered to be a typical immediate hypersensitivity response, determined by the activation of immune cells, via antigen-induced aggregation of IgE-sensitized FcεRI cells.

Mast Cell Proteoglycans [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 2012
Mast cells are versatile effector cells of the immune system, contributing to both innate and adaptive immunity toward pathogens but also having profound detrimental activities in the context of inflammatory disease. A hallmark morphological feature of mast cells is their large content of cytoplasmic secretory granules, filled with numerous secretory ...

Meta‐Rod Mechanical Metamaterials With Programmable Reconfiguration

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Existing mechanical metamaterials achieve programmable large deformations in planar square or cubic configurations, restricted by required complex boundary conditions. This research proposes a 1D metamaterial, Meta‐rod, with linear, bending, twisting, area, and volume deformation modes.

Histamine and TNF-α release by rat peritoneal mast cells stimulated with Trichomonas vaginalis

open access: yesParasite, 2011
Mast cells have been reported to be predominant in the vaginal smears of patients infected with T. vaginalis. In this study, we investigated whether T. vaginalis could induce mast cells to migrate and to produce TNF-α and histamine.

Thymic mast cells: From morphology to physiology

open access: yesИнтегративная физиология, 2021
This minireview summarizes some of our results on the structure, origin, and functions of thymic mast cells, as well as their role in stress-induced thymic atrophy. A comparison of the thymic mast cells with the connective tissue and mucosa mast cells is

Globule leukocytes and mast cells in the rat trachea: their number, distribution, and response to compound 48/80 and dexamethasone. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
Globule leukocytes in the epithelium of the rat trachea may be counterparts of mucosal mast cells that are located in the gastrointestinal tract. If they are indeed similar to mucosal mast cells, globule leukocytes would be expected to decrease in number

Coacervates Made of Elastin‐Like Polypeptides Fused with Melanocyte‐Stimulating Hormone and Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein Enhance Skin Wound Healing in Spinal Cord‐Injured Mice

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Pressure skin wounds are frequent complications after spinal cord injury (SCI), with impaired healing due to vascular and immune deficits. Elastin‐like polypeptides (ELP) fused to α‐MSH (MSH‐ELP) or MCP‐1 (MCP‐ELP) are developed and tested on these wounds. The resulting nanoparticles are non‐toxic and bioactive, and they enhance macrophage recruitment,

Regulation of mast cell function and survival in health and disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Mast cells are sentinels of danger but they are also the major effector cells in allergic disease causing the well-known allergic symptoms caused by their mediators such as histamine and prostaglandin D2 that are released upon activation. Mastocytosis is
