    Glossary Mast Cells

    type of white blood cell involved in immune responses

    Mast cells are a type of white blood cell that play a crucial role in the body's immune response, particularly in allergic reactions and inflammation. They are found in tissues throughout the body and release chemicals like histamine when they detect an allergen or injury, which helps to protect the body but can also cause symptoms like itching, swelling, and redness.
