  2. Eosinophil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophil

    Eosinophils are also involved in many other biological processes, including postpubertal mammary gland development, oestrus cycling, allograft rejection and neoplasia. [21] They have also been implicated in antigen presentation to T cells. [22] Eosinophils are responsible for tissue damage and inflammation in many diseases, including asthma.

  3. Eosinophilia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilia

    Eosinophils usually account for less than 7% of the circulating leukocytes. [1] A marked increase in non-blood tissue eosinophil count noticed upon histopathologic examination is diagnostic for tissue eosinophilia. [2] Several causes are known, with the most common being some form of allergic reaction or parasitic infection.

  4. Human thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_thermoregulation

    Simplified control circuit of human thermoregulation. [8]The core temperature of a human is regulated and stabilized primarily by the hypothalamus, a region of the brain linking the endocrine system to the nervous system, [9] and more specifically by the anterior hypothalamic nucleus and the adjacent preoptic area regions of the hypothalamus.

  5. Eosinophil cationic protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophil_cationic_protein

    Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) also known as ribonuclease 3 is a basic protein located in the eosinophil primary matrix. [4] In humans, the eosinophil cationic protein is encoded by the RNASE3 gene. [5] ECP is released during degranulation of eosinophils. This protein is related to inflammation and asthma because in these cases, there are ...

  6. Eosinophil-derived neurotoxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophil-derived_neurotoxin

    Eosinophil-derived neurotoxin is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RNASE2 gene. [5] [6] [7]The protein encoded by this gene is found in eosinophil granulocytes.It is closely related to the eosinophil cationic protein (RNASE3) from which it diverged ~50 million years ago after the split between the old world and the new world monkeys. [8]

  7. Major basic protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_basic_protein

    PRG2 is a 117-residue protein that predominates in eosinophil granules. It is a potent enzyme against helminths and is toxic towards bacteria and mammalian cells in vitro. The eosinophil major basic protein also causes the release of histamine from mast cells and basophils, and activates neutrophils and alveolar macrophages.

  8. Eosinopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinopenia

    Eosinopenia is a condition where the number of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, in circulating blood is lower than normal. [1] Eosinophils are a type of granulocyte and consequently from the same cellular lineage as neutrophils, basophils, and mast cells.

  9. Eosinophilic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophilic

    Eosin is usually combined with a stain called hematoxylin to produce a hematoxylin- and eosin-stained section (also called an H&E stain, HE or H+E section). It is the most widely used histological stain for a medical diagnosis. [3] When a pathologist examines a biopsy of a suspected cancer, they will stain the biopsy with H&E.
