摘要
Mast cells (MCs) are skin-resident immune cells whose role in leishmaniasis has been recently explored. Researchers report varying inferences, that is, mast cells promote, eliminate, or have no role in leishmaniasis. This article discusses this heterogeneity in mast cell roles to facilitate potential therapeutic and vaccine interventions for these diseases.
