This state-of-the-art reference provides timely and clinically and experimentally useful information on the major proteins of mast cell secretory granules that are released into the lung, skin, gut, eye, and other tissues under the influence of diverse stimuli-including cytokines, growth factors, neuropeptides, and allergen-bound immunoglobulin E. Demonstrates the important roles proteases play in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis as well as in the damaging events linked with allergy and other varieties of inflammation!
Offers coverage of practical and theoretical implications of current research into mast cell biology, emphasizing the role of the mast cell in human diseases. The text covers all aspects of the mast cell from growth and differentiation to its function in such conditions as asthma and skin disease.
This unique book offers an in-depth, best-practices guide to diagnosis and management of mastocytosis, a too-often underdiagnosed disease. Mastocytosis: A Comprehensive Guide will open with a general overview and discussion of mast cell biology, addressing tryptase and other diagnostic markers in detail. Comprehensive diagnostic criteria and classification will follow, with special emphasis on commonly-seen related manifestations: skin disease, pediatric mastocytosis, gastrointestinal indicators, osteoporosis, anaphylaxis, venom and drug allergy, and pregnancy. Mastocytosis will be an ideal resource for not only the allergist confronted with this condition, but for a growing, multi-disciplinary audience of hematologists, gastroenterologists, dermatologists, pediatricians, primary care providers and other clinicians who encounter this disease in their patients.
