Eosinophils and cancer.
Eosinophils have long been known to infiltrate tumors, and in most cases, this is associated with an improved prognosis. However, the reasons behind this infiltration and the mechanism of action of the eosinophil have remained elusive. In this article, we explore the biology of eosinophils and examine their function in homeostasis and disease states, specifically focusing on what is currently k...

متن کاملEosinophils in health and diseases
Eosinophils are multifunctional cells whose activities are associated with a single gene and have a diverse role in inflammation as well as in immunity (both innate and adaptive). Our understanding of this multifunctional leukocyte over the past two decades has enhanced from a definitely damaging cell to a cell actively participating in many physiological and pathological processes. Eosinophils...
متن کاملHomeostatic Eosinophils: Characteristics and Functions
Eosinophils are typically considered to be specialized effector cells that are recruited to the tissues as a result of T helper type 2 (Th2) cell responses associated with helminth infections or allergic diseases such as asthma. Once at the site of injury, eosinophils release their cytotoxic granule proteins as well as preformed cytokines and lipid mediators, contributing to parasite destructio...
