Eosinophils are important for protection, immunoregulation and pathology during infection with nematode microfilariae.

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
Eosinophil responses typify both allergic and parasitic helminth disease. In helminthic disease, the role of eosinophils can be both protective in immune responses and destructive in pathological responses. To investigate whether eosinophils are involved

Do blood eosinophils strictly reflect airway inflammation in COPD? Comparison with asthmatic patients

Respiratory Research, 2019
Introduction Airway eosinophilic inflammation is a characteristic of asthmatic patients and of a sub group of COPD subjects. Blood eosinophils are deemed as a good surrogate marker of sputum eosinophilic inflammation; however, controversial data have ...

Recent advances of eosinophils and its correlated diseases

Frontiers in Public Health, 2022
Eosinophils are differentiated by bone marrow multipotent progenitor cells and are further released into peripheral blood after maturation. Human eosinophils can exhibit unique multi-leaf nuclear morphology, which are filled with cytoplasmic granules ...

Association between fractional exhaled nitric oxide, sputum induction and peripheral blood eosinophil in uncontrolled asthma

Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, 2018
Background The fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and blood eosinophils are biomarkers of eosinophilic airway inflammation used in the diagnosis and management of asthma, although induced sputum is the gold standard test for phenotypic asthma ...

Eosinophils Exert Antitumorigenic Effects in the Development of Esophageal Squamous Cell CarcinomaSummary

Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2023
Background and Aims: Eosinophils are present in several solid tumors and have context-dependent function. Our aim is to define the contribution of eosinophils in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), as their role in ESCC is unknown.

Eosinophilic Pneumonias [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2012
SUMMARY This review starts with discussions of several infectious causes of eosinophilic pneumonia, which are almost exclusively parasitic in nature. Pulmonary infections due specifically to Ascaris , hookworms, Strongyloides , Paragonimus , filariasis, and

TRAIL‐PEG‐Apt‐PLGA nanosystem as an aptamer‐targeted drug delivery system potential for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy using in vivo mouse model

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

Engineering tandem VHHs to target different epitopes to enhance antibody‐dependent cell‐mediated cytotoxicity

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Tandem VHH targeting distinct EGFR epitopes were engineered into a monovalent bispecific antibody (7D12‐EGA1‐Fc) with more potent ADCC without increasing affinity to EGFR. Structural modeling of 7D12‐EGA1‐Fc showed cross‐linking of separate EGFR domains to enhance CD16a engagement on NK cells.

In vivo visualization of eosinophil secretion in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis: An ultrastructural study

Allergology International, 2022
Background: Although eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) has been considered as a single disease entity belonging to anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, several studies have suggested that in addition to ...

Diffusion Spectrum Imaging Maps Early Axonal Loss and a Unique Progressive Signal in Neuronal Intranuclear Inclusion Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To delineate specific in vivo white matter pathology in neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) using diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) and define its clinical relevance. Methods DSI was performed on 42 NIID patients and 38 matched controls.
