Eosinophils play a homeostatic role in the body's immune responses. These cells are involved in combating some parasitic, bacterial, and viral infections and certain cancers and have pathologic roles in diseases including asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, eosinophilic gastrointestina ….
15 wrz 2021 · Eosinophils are involved in a diverse range of processes. Human data suggest that eosinophils aid in body homeostasis; contribute to defense against parasitic, bacterial, and viral infections; are involved in cancer immunology; and have a pathologic role in eosinophilic diseases. •.
Separate from the discussion of the normal lifespan of the eosinophil, it is important to briefly review ways to actively eliminate eosinophils via pharmacology, and how this influences our knowledge of the role of eosinophils in sickness and in health.
Eosinophils have been traditionally perceived as terminally differentiated cytotoxic effector cells. Recent studies have provided a more sophisticated understanding of eosinophil effector functions and a more nuanced view of their contributions to ...
In the following sections, we will review the role of eosinophils in human health and disease at a general level and describe the evidence supporting eosinophilic immune dysfunction as a deleterious factor in chronic airway inflammation and in systemic inflammatory diseases.
16 wrz 2024 · High blood eosinophil counts and eosinophil cationic protein levels have been suggested to predict a higher risk of cardiovascular disease in humans; however, other studies suggest that low blood...
16 lis 2012 · This Review describes the unique biology of the eosinophil. The authors explain how eosinophils interact with other leukocyte populations to promote protective immunity following infection.
