Mast cell stabilizers including disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) were found to have potential as the agonists of an orphan G protein-coupled receptor, GPR35, although it remains to be determined whether GPR35 is expressed in mast cells and involved in suppression of mast cell degranulation. Our purpose in this study is to verify the expression of GPR35 in mast cells, and to clarify how GPR35 modulates the degranulation.

What specific limitations in mirroring diseases in humans are commonly observed when using animal models for preclinical research? The standard animal model paradigm for drug discovery does not translate well to effects in patients for a number of reasons. For one, animal models require disease induction, either genetic or surgical modifications, diet, or application of a disease inducing agent or toxin, yet this is nothing like how diseases progress in humans, which typically take years to deve
