GlossaryDegranulation

release of granules from immune cells during immune responses

Degranulation is a process where certain cells, like mast cells and basophils, release granules containing chemicals such as histamine and cytokines into the surrounding tissue. This release plays a crucial role in immune responses, including inflammation and allergic reactions, by signaling other immune cells to the site of infection or injury.
