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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In experiments with ARDS model mice, researchers from Japan found that basophils, a type of white blood cells, release interleukin-4, a signaling molecule that suppresses inflammatory neutrophils ...

The researchers identified 411 patients with PMF who had baseline basophil and eosinophil counts available at the time of diagnosis or first referral. After a median follow-up of 52 months, most ...
