Mast cell leukemia (MCL) is a quick-progressing condition that leads to the buildup of mast cells in your bone marrow and other tissues. It falls into a group of diseases collectively known as ...

Mast cell activation syndrome, or disease (MCAS), is a condition that causes mast cells to release these substances too frequently, resulting in severe allergic reactions. After detecting an allergen, ...

This scanning electron microscopy image captures the moment where degranulating mast cells (pseudo-colored in sepia) attract and start to incorporate living neutrophils (pseudo-colored in cyan), ...

Known for their role in allergic reactions, mast cells have long been recognised as key players in our immune system. When they encounter allergens, they release chemicals that trigger typical allergy ...

The significant mortality rate associated with the ongoing Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been linked to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multi-organ dysfunction.

This article originally appeared on Undark. A year before the pandemic, I was diagnosed with a condition called mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). A hallmark of the syndrome is hypersensitivities ...

A rare set of immune diseases called clonal mast cell activation disorders (cMCADs) may be associated with strong immunity to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is ...

A potential new treatment for mast cell cancers reduces the number of mast cells by 'mutating' the messenger RNA (mRNA) before it can deliver instructions for manufacturing the gene responsible for ...

Mast cell activation syndrome is a condition that causes mast cells to release an inappropriate amount of chemicals into your body. This causes allergy symptoms and a wide range of other symptoms.
