Factors induced during stress in the brain and/or skin, such as corticotropin-releasing hormone, neuropeptides, neurotrophins and α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, can activate mast cells to ...

When mast cells are activated, these packages spill open, releasing compounds that trigger a range of immune responses. According to Prof Kaplan, this process, known as degranulation, is crucial ...

Here, we examined the effect of chronic stress on colonic permeability and the participation of mast cells in this response. METHODS Mast cell deficient Ws/Ws rats and +/+ littermate controls were ...

They showed that symbioses with bacteria have ... Microbial Cell Factories May Help Get to the Root of Understudied Plant Molecules Jan. 16, 2025 — A new tool could make it easier to study ...

Hence, microtubules assembled by Elongator become selectively enriched with polyglutamylated tubulin, as observed in vitro, in mouse and Drosophila cell lines, as well as in vivo in Drosophila Sensory ...

Kounis syndrome is the concurrence of acute coronary syndromes with conditions associated with mast cell activation, such as allergies or hypersensitivity and anaphylactic or anaphylactoid insults ...

eLife is a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. Our mission is to help scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research communication that ...

The corticotropic-releasing hormone enhances the bone-marrow homing and engraftment of human haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells via the mechanical remodelling of the cell’s cytoskeleton ...

Jan. 15, 2025 — While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows.
