MastCURe, a high-profile research consortium, has been awarded EUR1.3M in funding from the Eureka Eurostars program. The collaboration comprising Allegria Therapeutics, Cube Biotech, and the ...

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 ...

What Is Advanced Systemic Mastocytosis? Mast cells, found in connective tissue throughout the body, are a type of white blood cell that helps the immune system function properly and protect against ...

Eosinophils and mast cells are two types of immune cells with critical roles in responding to foreign assaults. When these cells do not function properly, several disease outcomes can develop (e.g.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new pathway behind life-threatening food allergies. Instead of histamine, a different chemical called leukotrienes drives severe reactions in the gut. These ...

Food allergy, or the aggressive immune system reaction following the consumption of a certain food or food ingredient, typically involves immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies and can be potentially ...

Certain immune cells backstab their cellular coworkers during allergic reactions. Mast cells, the security patrols of the immune system, can trigger allergic inflammation when they run into unfamiliar ...

Food allergies affect more than half a billion people worldwide. In severe cases, even a small bite of the wrong food can trigger anaphylaxis - a rapid, body-wide allergic reaction that can cause ...
