Depending on one's perspective, "mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)" is either a relatively rare, narrowly defined severe allergic condition or a vastly under-recognized underlying cause of ...

Q: My doctor thinks my mast cells are activating inappropriately and may be causing many of the symptoms I periodically have. Please tell me more about this condition. A: Mast cells are an ...

"It is ironic that neutrophils, which create web-like traps made of DNA and histones to capture microbes during infections, are now trapped themselves by mast cells under allergic conditions ...

Diagnosing a mast cell tumor can be done by your veterinarian with a quick procedure called a fine needle aspirate (FNA). Your vet will insert a needle into the lump and suck out some material, which ...

IgE has been known for mediating endothelial cell ... under confocal microscopy. Additional serial sections were then subjected to FISH staining for CDR1as and immunofluorescence staining for CD31.

The molecule can then be tracked under an ordinary – albeit very high-resolution – optical microscope. Cryo-ET uses electron microscopes to study flash-frozen samples, like cells. Combining ...
