Molecular regulation of mast cell development and maturation.
Mast cells play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases. In recent years, tremendous progresses have been made in studies of mast cell origination, migration, proliferation, maturation and survival, and the cytokines regulating these activities. These advances have significantly improved our understandings to mast cell biology and to the molecular mechanisms of mast cells in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases.
