There are a group of cells dedicated to defending our bodies from all comers, these are the immune cells. Like an army, there are members that perform different tasks and that specialize in different ...

Basophils, though the rarest granulocytes, have emerged as pivotal modulators of immune responses in both allergic inflammation and autoimmunity. These cells are now recognised for their ability to ...

Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) find that pre-basophil and mast cell progenitors differentiate into pre-basophils before producing mature basophils in mice Tokyo, Japan – ...

Inflammation is a crucial part of the body’s defense mechanism, playing a key role in fighting infections and repairing tissue damage. Basophils, a type of immune cell that makes up less than 1% of ...

Basophils are a type of white blood cell (leukocyte) classified under granulocytes. They are very rare cells that represent only 0.5% of circulating leukocytes. Basophils were named due their high ...

Scientists reveal how a rare group of white blood cells called basophils play an important role in the immune response to a bacterial infection, preventing the development of sepsis. Researchers say ...

Researchers revealed that the immune cells basophils caused emphysema in mice with COPD-like features induced by intranasal administration of elastase. They showed that basophils, previously linked ...

A toluidine blue-butanediol stain was used on various tissues of pheasants, chickens, turkeys, and Japanese quail to determine the distribution of tissue mast cells. The population of mast cells in ...
