Mast Cells: Anatomy, Function & Diseases - Cleveland Clinic
Mast cells are a part of your immune system. They’re made in your bone marrow, then move through your bloodstream into your tissues. The mature mast cells live in tissues throughout your body to help protect you from hazards around you. They can help fight infections and regulate your organs.

Mast cell - Wikipedia
Although best known for their role in allergy and anaphylaxis, mast cells play an important protective role as well, being intimately involved in wound healing, angiogenesis, immune tolerance, defense against pathogens, and vascular permeability in brain tumors. [3][4]

The Multifaceted Roles of Mast Cells in Immune Homeostasis, Infections ...
Mast cells (MCs) play important roles in normal immune responses and pathological states. The location of MCs on the boundaries between tissues and the external environment, including gut mucosal surfaces, lungs, skin, and around blood vessels, suggests a multitude of immunological functions.

What Are Mast Cells and What Is Their Function?
Mast cells act as sentinels of the immune system, constantly monitoring their environment for signs of danger. They play a part in innate immunity, the body’s first line of defense, by detecting pathogens and danger signals.

Mast Cells: Mast Cell Function, Origin and Related Conditions
What are mast cells? Mast cells were discovered by Paul Ehrlich in 18781 and are primarily associated with the innate immune response, a non-specific arm of the immune system. They are particularly important in the allergic response, but are also involved in a wide variety of other immune functions.
