Mast cell activity in the healing wound: more than meets the eye?

Experimental dermatology - 1 Aug 2013

Wulff Brian C, Wilgus Traci A

Abstract excerpt

Mast cells (MCs) are an important part of the innate immune system and are abundant in barrier organs such as the skin. They are known primarily for initiating allergic reactions, but many other biological functions have now been described for these cells. Studies have indicated that during wound repair, MCs enhance acute inflammation, stimulate reepithelialization and angiogenesis, and promote scarring. MCs have...
