Stromal Cell‐Mast Cell Communication Orchestrates Anti‐Viral Immunity in the Meninges
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study delineates the spatial distribution and postnatal maturation of meningeal mast cells and uncovers their essential role in antiviral immunity. Using genetic models, mast cells are shown to promote CD8⁺ T cell infiltration and viral clearance via IL‐33 receptor signaling and synergistic activation by IL‐33 and ATP from infected stromal cells ...
