Researchers have found that commensal bacteria in humans might play an important role in influencing and controlling allergic inflammation. The study suggest that therapeutic targeting of immune cell ...

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 ...

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 – ...

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 ...

Indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) is a type of mastocytosis in which fewer clonal mast cells accumulate, thereby slowing the disease course and offering a better prognosis than other, more ...
