The growing interest in fish models could raise an opportunity to better understand mast cell
functions. The piscine mast cell, also known as eosinophilic granular cell, originates from …

Mast cells are best known as multifunctional entities that may confer a benefit on immune
system. This review presents the known facts on mast-cell system and breakthroughs in …

The intestinal epithelium of fish is a selective barrier faced with a complex task: blocking
pathogens and harmful substances while simultaneously allowing nutrient and water …

Over the past decade the zebrafish (Danio rerio) has become an attractive new vertebrate
model organism for studying mycobacterial pathogenesis. The combination of medium …

The cellular events that contribute to tissue healing of non-sterile wounds to the skin and
ischaemic injury to internal organs such as the heart share remarkable similarities despite …

Myelopoiesis is the process of producing all types of myeloid cells including monocytes/
macrophages and granulocytes. Myeloid cells are known to manifest a wide spectrum of …

We previously identified a zebrafish mast cell (MC) lineage and now aim to determine if
these cells function analogously in innate and adaptive immunity like their mammalian …

A number of recent reports suspected that Tween‐80 in injectable medicines, including
traditional Chinese medicine injections could cause life‐threatening anaphylactoid reaction …

The precise control of neutrophil-mediated inflammation is critical for both host defense and
the prevention of immunopathology. In vivo imaging studies in zebrafish, and more recently …

Mast cells (MCs) are tissue-based immune cells that participate to both innate and adaptive
immunities as well as to tissue-remodelling processes. Their evolutionary history appears as …
