Basophils are white blood cells that the bone marrow makes. They play a role in a healthy immune system. Having more or less basophils than usual may be a sign of inflammation, hyperthyroidism, or ...

Basophils are the rarest type of white blood cell (WBC). Sometimes called granulocytes, the cells hold tiny granules full of histamine. Basophils can also trigger your allergic reaction. They can ...

Mast cells and basophils are important sources of effector function in IgE-associated immune responses and are also potential sources of immunoregulatory function. The best-understood mechanism for ...

An αvβ3 integrin checkpoint is critical for efficient T H 2 cell cytokine polarization and potentiation of antigen-specific immunity Figure 1: IL-4 production by basophils after parasite infection is ...

Research into the origins of sepsis has identified a type of rare white blood cell, basophils, as a potentially key component in preventing the development of the condition. What is the basophils ...

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. Although they’re produced in the bone marrow, they’re found in many tissues throughout your body. Their normal blood range should be under 300 per microliter.

A recent study reveals the pivotal role of tristetraprolin (TTP), an RNA-binding protein, in regulating inflammatory responses in basophils, immune cells central to allergic reactions. The research ...
