Mast cells are pivotal effectors in immune responses, acting as both sentinels and mediators in allergic and inflammatory processes. Their ability to rapidly degranulate and release a myriad of ...

Chronic urticaria (CU) is a dermatological condition characterized by recurrent wheals (hives), angioedema (deep tissue swelling), or both, persisting for over 6 weeks. 1 Unlike acute urticaria, which ...

Gut bacteria break down dietary fiber into short-chain fatty acids, which are known to affect our immune system. In this study, researchers investigated in detail the mechanisms by which these ...

Scientists show that prenatal stress reshapes fetal mast cells and sensory neurons, creating a fragile skin barrier that sparks early-life eczema in mice. Study: Maternal stress triggers early-life ...
