The Multifaceted Role of Mast Cells in Health and Disease

The Multifaceted Role of Mast Cells in Health and Disease

The intricate interactions within our body's immune system, particularly involving mast cells, play a crucial role in inflammation and allergic reactions. These cells, when triggered by external substances (antigens), can cause inflammation and produce various chemicals that lead to allergic symptoms. Central to this process is a protein called spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk), which, when [...]
Do you have a CBS Mutation?

Do you have a CBS Mutation?

Genetic research has uncovered a specific gene mutation known as the cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) mutation. This mutation accelerates the activity of the CBS enzyme, a crucial player in the transsulfuration pathway. This pathway, pivotal in liver function, oversees the conversion of homocysteine to cystathionine, leading towards the synthesis of either taurine or glutathione — but [...]
