New Insights into “The Riddle of the Mast Cells”: Microenvironmental Regulation of Mast Cell Development and Phenotypic Heterogeneity
Abstract
At no time in recent memory has it been so difficult to offer succint generalizations about the biology of the mast cell, or its role in health and disease. This situation is something of a paradox, since there have been significant recent advances in experimental approaches for analyzing mast cell development, biochemistry and function, and the application of these methods has already generated much important new data. However, some of these findings have required that certain widely held beliefs about the mast cell be reevaluated. Indeed, in virtually every facet of the cell’s natural history, from its differentiation and maturation to its biochemistry and function, recent work has revealed considerably more complexity than had previously been suspected to exist. To those involved in mast cell research, this exciting progress has raised hopes that “the riddle of the mast cells” (223), i.e. , their specific roles in health and disease, might soon be solved. But to those whose acquaintance with the mast cell is more casual, the rapidly accumulating mass of new information may have caused no small amount of confusion. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
