FASEB Journal, 24(10), 4047–4057.
Contributors: * , D. Kaur *, M. Leyland* & P. Bradding *
author keywords: MS4A2; IgE receptor; cell cycle; G2 phase; cell membrane
MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence; Apoptosis; Base Sequence; Blotting, Western; Cell Cycle; Cell Proliferation; Cell Survival / physiology; DNA; DNA Primers; Electrophoresis, Polyacrylamide Gel; Humans; Mast Cells / cytology; Molecular Sequence Data; Receptors, IgE / chemistry; Receptors, IgE / physiology; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction
TL;DR:
This finding demonstrates that the MS4A2 gene has multiple roles, extending beyond the regulation of acute allergic responses, and might be possible to induce its expression in mast cells in vivo, which could lead to better treatments for diseases such as mastocytosis and asthma.

Journal of Immunology, 184(12), 7108–7115.
Contributors: * , V. Fernandes *, J. De Salort*, D. Pankhania*, M. Marinas*, H. Brewin*, P. Andrew *, P. Bradding *, A. Kadioglu *

TL;DR:
HLMCs exhibit direct antimicrobial activity to pneumococci through their activation by pneumolysin, and the release of LL-37 from HLMCs suggests that mast cells provide an early warning system and potentially limit pneumococcal dissemination early in the course of invasive pulmonary pneumitiscal disease.

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 125(1-3).
Contributors: * , W. Yang*, S. Duffy*, L. Chachi*, M. Leyland*, Y. Amrani *, P. Bradding *
