Background The atrial appendage is a predilection site for thrombus formation. Mast cells
(MC) are a rich source of mediators that may be involved in the regulation of thrombus …

Recent data suggest that auricular thrombosis is associated with an increase and
accumulation of mast cells (MC) in the subendothelial region of the upper endocardium …

Recent data suggest that auricular thrombosis is associated with accumulation of mast cells
(MC) in the upper endocardium (where usually no MC reside) and local expression of MGF …

Cardiac mast cells have been recently isolated and characterized in humans, however
canine cardiac mast cells have not been investigated. The objective of this study is to …

Background—We compared cardiac mast cell (HHMC) density and the immunological and
nonimmunological release of mediators from mast cells isolated from heart tissue of patients …

Mast cells have been found within human heart tissue and in adventia of coronary arteries
[1]. Tissue histamine concentrations and mast cell density is increased in the arteries of …

The study by Ponomaryov et al3 provides experimental evidence on the thrombogenic role
of mast cells in VTE; however, the translational potential of the finding remains to be …

Objective and Design: The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of adapting
peritoneal and pleural mast cell isolation techniques to recover cardiac mast cells that retain …

We have isolated and characterized the human cardiac mast cell (CMC) and compared this
novel mast cell (MC type with MC obtained from uterus, skin, and lung. Heart tissue was …

Mast cells are multifarious immune cells with complex roles in tissue homeostasis and
disease. They produce a plethora of mediators that play roles in inflammation, angiogenesis …
