Question

what is mast cell related to immunology ?

Answer 1

Mast cells are a type of innate immune cell. They contain large granules that are packed with immunomodulatory and vasoactive molecules, which are released following mast cell degranulation. Mast cells may protect the host during parasitic or bacterial infections, but they can also have detrimental roles in allergy. Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) is one type of mast cell activation disorder (MCAD), and is an immunological condition in which mast cells inappropriately and excessively release chemical mediators, resulting in a range of chronic symptoms, sometimes including anaphylaxis or near-anaphylaxis attacks.
