Mast cells: gene co-expression modules

Tissue-resident granulocytes derived from bone marrow progenitors, storing histamine and proteases; IgE crosslinking triggers rapid degranulation, driving allergy, parasite defence, and innate mucosal immune regulation.

SCUBA's reference network for Mast cells holds 189 gene modules covering 4,145 genes. Each module is a group of genes that rise and fall together across these cells, annotated with the biological process it most likely represents.
