21. Mast Cell Migration in Inflammatory Diseases
Abstract : Mast cells (MCs) are forceful multifunctional effector cells of the immune system. MCs are normally distributed throughout connective and mucosal tissues, but in several pathological conditions accumulation of MCs occur. READ MORE

22. The Role of Chemokines in Mast Cell Migration
Abstract : Mast cells are very potent multifunctional effector cells of the immune system normally distributed throughout connective tissues. An accumulation of mast cells has been described in several pathological conditions such as allergic- and autoimmune inflammations and in certain tumours. READ MORE

23. Why Is It So Hard to Kill a Mast Cell?A Study of Mast Cell Activation and Survival
Abstract : Mast cells have a long life in tissues, where they are involved in inflammatory and hypersensitivity reactions. Activation through cross-linking of the high-affinity IgE-receptor (FcεRI) is a primary stimulus capable of degranulating mast cells, contributing to symptoms of allergy. READ MORE

24. Molecular Studies of Mast Cell Migration and Apoptosis : Two Ways of Regulating Mast Cell Numbers at Sites of Inflammation
Abstract : Upon activation mast cells release numerous proinflammatory mediators. With this feature, mast cells play an important role in host defense against pathogens, and are involved in tissue remodeling and wound healing. However, in cases of excessive inflammation the effects of mast cells are detrimental. READ MORE
