Peter Libby: Mast Cells in Cardiovascular Disease
Peter Libby, Mallinckrodt Professor of Medicine and Cardiovascular Specialist at Harvard Medical School and Mass General Brigham Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Every leukocyte class shall have its day in atherosclerosis. With an international team, we summarize the current evidence supporting mechanisms by which mast cells can participate in this disease. Inflammation has many faces, and reaginic antibody (IgEs) can link adaptive to innate immunity unleashing a multitude of mast cell mediators that can modulate arterial and microvascular biology.”
