Mast cells in atherosclerosis.

Thrombosis and haemostasis - 1 Nov 2011

Bot I, Biessen E A L

Abstract excerpt

The mast cell, a potent inflammatory cell type, is widely distributed over several tissues, but particularly prominent at the interface exposed to the environment to act in the first line of defense against pathogens. Upon activation mast cells release granules, which contain a large panel of mediators, including neutral proteases (e.g. chymase and tryptase), cathepsins, heparin, histamine and a variety of...
