Synthesis, storage, and release of vascular endothelial growth factor/vascular permeability factor (VEGF/VPF) by human mast cells: implications for the biological significance of VEGF206.
- A. Grützkau, S. Krüger-Krasagakes, +6 authors A. Möller
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular biology of the cell
- 1 April 1998
Mast cells have been implicated in various diseases that are accompanied by neovascularization. The exact mechanisms by which mast cells might mediate an angiogenic response, however, are unclear and… Expand

- 1 March 2006
This guideline is the result of a consensus reached during a panel discussion at the second International Consensus Meeting on Urticara, Urticaria 2004, a joint initiative of the EAACI Dermatology… Expand
Expression of vanilloid receptor subtype 1 in cutaneous sensory nerve fibers, mast cells, and epithelial cells of appendage structures
- S. Ständer, C. Moormann, +9 authors M. Steinhoff
- Biology, Medicine
- Experimental dermatology
- 1 March 2004
Abstract: The vanilloid receptor subtype 1 (VR1)/(TRPV1), binding capsaicin, is a non‐selective cation channel that recently has been shown in human keratinocytes in vitro and in vivo. However, a… Expand

C3a and C5a stimulate chemotaxis of human mast cells.
- K. Hartmann, B. Henz, +6 authors T. Zuberbier
- Biology, Medicine
- Blood
- 15 April 1997
The factors that control migration of mast cells to sites of inflammation and tissue repair remain largely undefined. Whereas several recent studies have described chemotactic factors that induce… Expand
Mast cells as initiators of immunity and host defense
- B. Henz, M. Maurer, U. Lippert, M. Worm, M. Babina
- Biology, Medicine
- Experimental dermatology
- 1 February 2001
Abstract: Until recently, mast cells have been viewed primarily as harmful because of their key role as effector cells of allergic and potentially lethal anaphylactic reactions. Their contribution to… Expand
Treatment of melanoma cells with the synthetic retinoid CD437 induces apoptosis via activation of AP-1 in vitro, and causes growth inhibition in xenografts in vivo
- D. Schadendorf, M. Kern, +11 authors B. Henz
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of cell biology
- 2 December 1996
Human malignant melanoma is notoriously resistant to pharmacological modulation. We describe here for the first time that the synthetic retinoid CD437 has a strong dose-dependent antiproliferative… Expand
Expression and functional activity of the IL-8 receptor type CXCR1 and CXCR2 on human mast cells.
- U. Lippert, M. Artuc, +9 authors S. Krüger-Krasagakes
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of immunology
- 1 September 1998
To further elucidate mechanisms involved in mast cell accumulation at sites of cutaneous inflammation, we have studied the ability of human leukemic mast cells (HMC-1 cells) to express functionally… Expand
Protection against melanoma by vaccination with Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) and/or vaccinia: an epidemiology-based hypothesis on the nature of a melanoma risk factor and its immunological control.
A multicentre case-control study conducted by the FEBrile Infections and Melanoma (FEBIM) group has demonstrated a reduced risk of melanoma associated with Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) and/or… Expand
Prospective randomized multicenter clinical trial on the use of interferon -2a plus acitretin versus interferon -2a plus PUVA in patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma stages I and II.

- Medicine
- Blood
- 15 November 1998
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) constitutes a malignant proliferative disease involving mostly CD4(+) T cells arising in the skin. Because of the lack of curative treatment options, interferons… Expand
