Mast cells play a key role in the inflammatory process. When activated, a mast cell can either selectively release (piecemeal degranulation) or rapidly release (anaphylactic degranulation) mediators, or compounds that induce inflammation, from storage granules into the local microenvironment.
The major function of mast cells is to protect the body from intruders (including allergens and parasites) by way of immediate hypersensitive reaction (the allergic cascade) - when mast cells perceive a threat, the cell disintegrates like a tiny bomb of chemicals.
