Abstract
Mast cells (MCs) are heterogeneous tissue-resident effector cells thought to play central roles in allergic inflammatory disease, yet the degree of heterogeneity and nature of these roles has remained elusive. In recent years, advances in tissue culture systems, pre-clinical mouse models, and the continued spread of single-cell RNA sequencing has greatly advanced our understanding of MC phenotypes in health and disease. These approaches have identified novel interactions of MC subsets with immune cells, neurons, and tissue structural cells, changing our understanding of how MCs both drive and help resolve tissue inflammation, reshape tissue microenvironments, and influence host behavior. This review addresses key studies from 2022-2024 that have advanced our understanding of MC biology in mouse and human.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology is a prestigious publication that features groundbreaking research in the fields of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology. This influential journal publishes high-impact research papers that explore various topics, including asthma, food allergy, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, primary immune deficiencies, occupational and environmental allergy, and other allergic and immunologic diseases. The articles not only report on clinical trials and mechanistic studies but also provide insights into novel therapies, underlying mechanisms, and important discoveries that contribute to our understanding of these diseases. By sharing this valuable information, the journal aims to enhance the diagnosis and management of patients in the future.
