Eosinophils are granulocytes typically associated with immune responses to a limited
number of specific insults, including helminth infection and exposure to various allergens …

Objective To review and highlight the unappreciated roles of eosinophils suggested by
recent studies. Data Sources The literature, unpublished observations, and insights by the …

Eosinophils have multiple relevant biological functions, including the maintenance of
homeostasis, host defense against infectious agents, innate immunity activities, immune …

The roles eosinophils are recognized to play in health and disease continue to evolve.
Formerly, eosinophils were believed to fill a primary role in host defense against helminths …

Eosinophils are usually considered as end‐stage degranulating effector cells of innate
immunity. However, accumulating evidence has revealed additional roles for eosinophils …

The human eosinophil has long been thought to favorably influence innate mucosal
immunity but at times has also been incriminated in disease pathophysiology. Research into …

Eosinophils are a prominent cell type in particular host responses such as the response to
helminth infection and allergic disease. Their effector functions have been attributed to their …

Eosinophils are leukocytes resident in mucosal tissues. During T‐helper 2 (Th2)‐type
inflammation, eosinophils are recruited from bone marrow and blood to the sites of immune …

Discussions of eosinophils are often descriptions of end‐stage effector cells with destructive
capabilities mediated predominantly by released cytotoxic cationic granule proteins …

Eosinophils have been traditionally perceived as terminally differentiated cytotoxic effector
cells. Recent studies have profoundly altered this simplistic view of eosinophils and their …
