Journal ArticleDOI

Mast cells express a peripheral cannabinoid receptor with differential sensitivity to anandamide and palmitoylethanolamide.

TL;DR: It is reported that mast cells express both the gene and a functional CB2 receptor protein with negative regulatory effects on mast cell activation, and palmitoylethanolamide and its derivatives may provide antiinflammatory therapeutic strategies specifically targeted to mast cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ALIAmide palmitoylethanolamide and cannabinoids, but not anandamide, are protective in a delayed postglutamate paradigm of excitotoxic death in cerebellar granule neurons.

TL;DR: The results suggest that non-CB1 cannabinoid receptors control, upon agonist binding, the downstream consequences of an excitotoxic stimulus and activation of such receptors may serve to downmodulate deleterious cellular processes following pathological events or noxious stimuli in both the nervous and immune systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Inflammation-Centric View of Neurological Disease: Beyond the Neuron.

TL;DR: This review will describe the current state of knowledge concerning the biology of neuroinflammation, emphasizing mast cell-glia and glia- glia interactions, then conclude with a consideration of how a cell's endogenous mechanisms might be leveraged to provide a therapeutic strategy to target neuro inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microglia and mast cells: two tracks on the road to neuroinflammation

TL;DR: An overview of recent progress relating to the pathobiology of neuroinflammation, the role of microglia, neuroimmune interactions involving mast cells, in particular, and the possibility that mast cell‐microglia crosstalk may contribute to the exacerbation of acute symptoms of chronic neurodegenerative disease and accelerate disease progression, are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mast cells, glia and neuroinflammation: partners in crime?

TL;DR: An overview of recent progress relating to the pathobiology of neuroinflammation, the role of microglia, neuroimmune interactions involving mast cells and the possibility that mast cell–microglia cross‐talk contributes to the exacerbation of acute symptoms of chronic neurodegenerative disease and accelerates disease progression is provided.
