1. Cleavage Specificity of Mast Cell Chymases
Abstract : Mast cells (MC) are potent inflammatory cells that are known primarily for their prominent role in IgE mediated allergies. However, they also provide beneficial functions to the host, e.g. in bacterial and parasitic defence. READ MORE

2. Mast Cell-Mediated Orchestration of Airway Epithelial Responses in Chronic Respiratory Diseases
Abstract : Chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma, are an increasing health issue worldwide and cause about 3.9 million deaths annually. Despite this, little is know about the molecular mechanisms underpinning disease pathogenesis. READ MORE

3. Haematopoietic Serine Proteases : A Cleavage Specificity Analysis
Abstract : Mast cells are innate immune cells, historically involved in allergy responses involving IgE. Through this, they have earned a reputation as a fairly detrimental cell type. Their beneficial roles remain somewhat enigmatic although they clearly have the ability to modulate the immune system. READ MORE

4. Cutting Edge – Cleavage Specificity and Biochemical Characterization of Mast Cell Serine Proteases
Abstract : It is well established that mast cells (MC) are key players in airway pathologies such as allergic asthma, but they are also known to contribute to host defense and tissue remodeling. MC serine proteases are the major protein components of mast cell granules and accordingly, are most likely involved in many aspects of MC function. READ MORE

5. Mast Cells as Sentinels : Role of serglycin and mast cell proteases in infection and inflammation
Abstract : Mast cells (MCs), normally classified into connective tissue MCs and mucosal MCs, are highly granulated cells found in the interface between the interior and the exterior environment of our body, e.g. skin, airways and gastro-intestinal tract. READ MORE
