Introduction: A subtype of human mast cells (MCs) found in the skin and to a lesser extent in the lung and gut express a novel G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) known as Mas-related GPCR-X2 (MRGPRX2, mouse counterpart MrgprB2). In addition to drug-induced pseudoallergy and cutaneous disorders, MrgprB2 contributes to ulcerative colitis, IgE-mediated lung inflammation and systemic anaphylaxis. Interestingly, most agonists activate MRGPRX2 with higher potency than MrgprB2.

Idiopathic non-mast cell angioedema (INMA) is a rare disease typified by recurrent attacks of cutaneous and subcutaneous swelling. Every attack carries the potential for severe morbidity and, in the case of laryngeal involvement, mortality. Whereas therapies approved for hereditary angioedema (HAE) have been used in the care of patients with INMA, little is known with regard to their efficacy for the treatment of this disease.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is a malignant skin tumor characterized by the abnormal proliferation of keratinocytes. Immune cells have a very important role in the development of CSCC. Hence, it was vital to screen the immune cell-related biomarkers for the treatment of CSCC.

Background: Canine mast cell tumors (MCT) in the skin are classified into cutaneous MCT (cMCT) and subcutaneous MCT (scMCT) types, which exhibit different clinical behaviors. Although these types have been classified only by histology, preoperative differentiation is important for proper surgical planning.
Aim: To examine the accuracy of differentiating these types based on the gross features before surgery.

Canine mast cell tumors (MCTs) are common skin neoplasms with varying biological behaviors. The proto-oncogene plays a key role in the development of these tumors, and internal tandem duplications on exon 11 are usually associated with more aggressive behavior, increased local recurrence, and decreased survival time. However, apart from exons 8-11 and 17, there is limited understanding of the overall mutational landscape in canine MCTs.
