Abstract
MCs are now accepted as having an important role in many diseases with an inflammatory component. TNTs provide a rapid and direct way for MCs to "alarm" other cell types with specificity not present when mediators are secreted into the tissue microenvironment. The identification of TNTs and their cargo could be important in the diagnosis and possible treatment of many inflammatory diseases.
