A TNFRSF14-FcɛRI-mast cell pathway contributes to development of multiple features of asthma pathology in mice

TNFSF14 (LIGHT) contributes to airway inflammation and remodelling. Here the authors show that TNFSF14 acting on its receptor TNFRSF14 on mast cells enhances their IgE-dependent activation and that interference with this pathway attenuates features of asthma pathology in mice.
