Background: Alopecia areata (AA) is a common autoimmune disease, causes sudden hair loss on the scalp, face, and sometimes other areas of the body. Previous studies have suggested more severe manifestations and higher recurrence rates in children than in adults. Moreover, pediatric AA patients with atopic predisposition often exhibit elevated IgE levels, early onset, and a poor prognosis.

Airway inflammation, a hallmark feature of asthma, drives many canonical features of the disease, including airflow limitation, mucus plugging, airway remodeling, and hyperresponsiveness. The T2 inflammatory paradigm is firmly established as the dominant mechanism of asthma pathogenesis, largely due to the success of inhaled corticosteroids and biologic therapies targeting components of the T2 pathway, including IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). However, up to 30% of patients may lack signatures of meaningful T2 inflammation (ie, T2 low).

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a persistent inflammatory disease of various endotypes, including eosinophilic CRS (eCRS), which is characterized by marked eosinophilic infiltration and high refractory rates despite treatment. Recent findings suggest the interaction between local IgE and mast cells in nasal polyps (NPs) is key to eCRS pathogenesis; however, the details remain unclear. This study investigated the involvement of MS4A2, a component of the IgE receptor, in the pathogenesis of refractory eCRS.

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a widely distributed and persistent organic pollutant, is known to cause immune dysfunction. In a previous study, we reported that PFOS modestly increases mast cell activation. However, its effects on FcεRI (a high-affinity IgE receptor)-mediated mast cell activation, a pivotal process in inflammatory allergic reactions and innate immunity, have not been clearly demonstrated.

The pro-tumor effects of mast cell (MC) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are becoming increasingly clear. Recently, MC were shown to contribute to tumor malignancy by supporting the migration of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), suggesting a relationship with tumor immunity. In the current study, we aimed to examine the correlation between MC infiltration and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) response for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).
