Mast cells are granular, bone-marrow derived, mobile leucocytes with wide range of functions including inflammation, immune modulation, tissue repair, and remodelling.
Mast Cell Deficiency and Reconstitution in [IL10.sup.-/-]Associated Colitis Drive the Gene Expression of an Array of Colonic Mucosal Cytokine and Chemokines.
One of the three, grade I
mast cell tumors showed higher p21 gene expression where as both tumors of grade II also showed higher expression with 7.31 fold change (Table 4, Fig 2).
Mastocytosis is characterized by pathognomonic proliferation of clonal
mast cells with either cutaneous or systemic involvement.
A primary trigger for
mast cell activation is mold exposure in these patients.
The dsyfunction of BBB, whether caused by
mast cell activation or EMF, may predispose individuals to migraine.
Mast cell tumours are nasty wee guys that just appear and can be very troublesome.
In the present study, middle meningeal artery and its branches were chosen due to the relevance for the generation of headaches (1,6), therefore the change in diameter of middle meningeal artery and its branches in response to
mast cell degranulation in the dura mater has demonstrated that
mast cells in the dura mater play a key role in the pathophysiology of migraine.
Mast cell tumors are mainly occurring in skin and subcutaneous tissues.
Tissue-specific expression of
mast cell granule serine proteinases and their role in inflammation in the lung and gut.
His project is entitled "Defining
Mast Cell Phenotype, Activation Pathways and Cellular Interactions that Drive Chronic Symptoms and Endoscopic Changes in Eosinophilic Esophagitis."
