Mast cells express 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1: a role in restraining mast cell degranulation.

Mast cells express 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1: a role in restraining mast cell degranulation.

Mast cells are key initiators of allergic, anaphylactic and inflammatory reactions, producing mediators that affect vascular permeability, angiogenesis and fibrosis.
