Mast Cells

Health Care Term


Mast cells are a type of immune system cell found in connective tissue throughout the body. They play a key role in the body's response to allergens and inflammation.

Mast cells contain granules filled with histamine, a chemical that causes the symptoms of allergy, such as itching, swelling, and redness. When mast cells come into contact with an allergen, they release histamine and other inflammatory compounds, triggering an allergic response.

In addition to their role in allergies, mast cells also help to defend the body against infection by releasing substances that attract and activate other immune cells. They are involved in wound healing, angiogenesis, and tissue regeneration.

In health care industry, Mast cells are used in diagnosing and treating various medical conditions. Mast cell disorders such as Mastocytosis and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) are diagnosed by examining Mast cells under a microscope. Additionally, drugs that target Mast cells are widely used to manage allergic conditions like asthma, allergic rhinitis, and hives.

Mast cells are also being studied for their potential role in cancer. Recent studies have shown that Mast cell activation in tumor microenvironment is associated with poor prognosis in many human cancer types. Therefore, the targeting of Mast cells might be a promising therapeutic strategy in cancer treatment in the future.
