Abstract
Mast cells (MCs) are effectors in type 2 immunity, well known for their detrimental roles in allergy. In this issue of Immunity, Alhallak et al. now identify a protective role of MCs against exacerbated immune responses mediated by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-driven soluble ST2.
期刊介绍:
Immunity is a publication that focuses on publishing significant advancements in research related to immunology. We encourage the submission of studies that offer groundbreaking immunological discoveries, whether at the molecular, cellular, or whole organism level. Topics of interest encompass a wide range, such as cancer, infectious diseases, neuroimmunology, autoimmune diseases, allergies, mucosal immunity, metabolic diseases, and homeostasis.
