Abstract excerpt
Mast cells (MCs) are versatile immune cells capable of rapidly responding to a diverse range of extracellular cues. Here, we mapped the genomic and transcriptomic changes in human MCs upon diverse stimuli. Our analyses revealed broad H3K4me3 domains and enhancers associated with activation. Notably, the rise of intracellular calcium concentration upon immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated crosslinking of the...
