Calcineurin Aα Contributes to IgE-Dependent Mast-Cell Mediator Secretion in Allergic Inflammation

Mast cells (MCs) are key mediators of allergic inflammation through the activation of cross-linked immunoglobulin E (IgE) bound to the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcϵRI) on the cell surface, leading to the release of biologically potent mediators, either from preformed granules or newly synthesized....
