Mast cell tumors (MCTs) are among the most common skin cancers affecting dogs and cats. These tumors originate from mast ...

The main types of allergy eye drops are antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

IN the skin of mice painted with chemical carcinogens a remarkable accumulation of mast cells is usually observed in the altered dermis. Cramer and Simpson 1 first observed that the accumulating mast ...

Known for their role in allergic reactions, mast cells have long been recognised as key players in our immune system. When they encounter allergens, they release chemicals that trigger typical allergy ...

This scanning electron microscopy image captures the moment where degranulating mast cells (pseudo-colored in sepia) attract and start to incorporate living neutrophils (pseudo-colored in cyan), ...

Researchers have created a nanotherapy that selectively targets and shuts down the immune cells responsible for causing an allergic response in mice, preventing anaphylaxis. Able to be tailored to ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers used a mouse model to show that mast cells and immunoglobulin E (IgE) are the key orchestrators of antigen-specific avoidance, a behavioral ...

Mast cell stabilizers appear to have the potential to control IRRs and possibly allow for the safe reintroduction of agalsidase in patients with Fabry disease who previously received enzyme ...

IN recent work 1 it was found that cells obtained by washing out the rat's peritoneal cavity with saline could be rendered photosensitive. Exposure to light for a period too brief to affect leucocytes ...

An NHS GP has shed light on a little-known but 'massively underdiagnosed' condition that can cause several common symptoms, ...
