• Skin-resident mast cells (MCs) and cutaneous sensory neurons both play crucial roles in microbial‒host defense and inflammatory diseases. MCs can be directly activated by pathogens or their products, resulting in the release of numerous mediators that promote innate immune responses and also activate sensory neurons. Cutaneous sensory neurons can also directly detect the presence of pathogens, resulting in the release of neuropeptides that modulate MC function. In this review, we will focus on the reciprocal interactions between cutaneous sensory neurons and MCs and the importance of this cross-talk in skin diseases.
