Article Synopsis
  • Mast cells release inflammatory mediators in response to stimuli, which leads to allergic reactions.
  • Lysophosphatidylserine (lysoPS) is known to enhance histamine release from mast cells, even at low concentrations.
  • In this study, lysoPT and its 2-deoxy derivative were identified as new potent compounds that trigger histamine release more effectively than lysoPS, suggesting the existence of an unidentified receptor involved in mast cell activation.
