Mast cells (MCs) are best-known as key effector cells of immediate-type allergic reactions
that may even culminate in life-threatening anaphylactic shock syndromes. However …

Mast cells are present in all vascularized tissues of the body. They are especially abundant
in tissues that are in frequent contact with the surrounding environment and act as potential …

Mast cells are not only potent effector cells in allergy, but are also important players in
protective immune responses against pathogens. Most of our knowledge about mast cells in …

Under physiological conditions, skin mast cells play an important role as guardians that
quickly react to stimuli that disturb homeostasis. These cells efficiently support, fight …

Mast cells (MC s) are innate immune cells that are scattered in tissues throughout the
organism being particularly abundant at sites exposed to the environment such as the skin …

Mast cells (MCs) are currently recognized as effector cells in many settings of the immune
response, including host defense, immune regulation, allergy, chronic inflammation, and …

Mast cells are widely distributed in tissues, particularly near surfaces exposed to the
environment. Mast cells can be activated to secrete diverse mediators and cytokines by IgE …
