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 ...

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

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 ...

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 – ...

ASA: Aspirin salicylic acid; DPT: Drug provocation test; H: History; IDT: Intradermal skin test. The basophil activation test (BAT) is not a primary diagnostic tool; it is a test complementary to the ...

Basophils trigger a cytokine cascade that improves antitumor immunity in mice, offering potential targets for cancer immunotherapy. “The results remind us: Don’t forget the basophil,” said study ...

Elevated absolute eosinophil counts and absolute basophil counts (ABC) are associated with reduced overall survival in essential thrombocythemia. In polycythemia vera, higher ABC correlates with ...
