Eosinophils are a minority circulating granulocyte classically viewed as being involved in
host defense against parasites and promoting allergic reactions. However, a series of new …

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

Eosinophils have traditionally been associated with allergic diseases and parasite infection.
Research advances in the recent decades have brought evolutionary changes in our …

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 …

Eosinophils are innate immune leukocytes found in relatively low numbers within the blood.
Terminal effector functions of eosinophils, deriving from their capacity to release their …

Eosinophils have been considered end-stage cells involved in host protection against
parasites. However, numerous lines of evidence have now changed this perspective by …

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 innate immune cells typically associated with allergic and parasitic
diseases. However, in recent years, eosinophils have also been ascribed a role in keeping …

In this review, we aim to put in perspective the biology of a multifunctional leukocyte, the
eosinophil, by placing it in the context of innate and adaptive immune responses …
