S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)-dependent histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT) is a crucial enzyme involved in histamine methylation, playing an important role in the epigenetic modification of biology. It entails the addition of methyl groups to histamine molecules, thereby regulating gene expression, cellular signal transduction, and other biological processes. Therefore, gaining a profound understanding of the detailed mechanism underlying HNMT-mediated methylation reactions is instrumental in elucidating the role of histamine methylation in biology.

Introduction: Histamine Type I Receptor Antagonists (H1 blockers) are widely used to mitigate histamine-induced inflammation, particularly in allergic reactions. Histamine, a biogenic amine found in endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle, bronchial smooth muscle, and the hypothalamus, is a key player in these responses. H1 blockers are essential in cough syrups and flu medications and are divided into two generations: first-generation H1 blockers, which are sedating and have numerous side effects, and second-generation blockers, which are non-sedating and generally less toxic but may still exhibit cross-reactivity with other receptors.

Fucoidan is a natural sulfated polysaccharide with immunoregulatory function. In this work, the anti-allergic impacts of Gracilaria lemaneiformis fucoidan (GLF) in mitigating allergic reactions induced by shrimp tropomyosin were investigated. As the results, GLF performed significant hyaluronidase inhibition ability (IC = 0.

Rationale: Approximately 32 million people in the United States suffer from food allergies. Some food groups, such as legumes - peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish, have a high risk of cross-reactivity. However, the murine model of multiple food group cross-reactivity is limited.

Objectives: Chitosan is widely used in medicine to regulate immune responses in T cells and dendritic cells. However, research on the regulation of mast cells (MCs) is scarce. Mas-related G-protein-coupled receptor X2 (MRGPRX2) is a key receptor that mediates MC activation.
