As is known, eosinophils belong to granulocytes and perform a variety of functions in the body. They are ascribed mainly a detoxifying role, since normally they are found in large quantities in the skin, intestinal and respiratory tract mucosa, tissues and tissue fluids. In addition, eosinophils take an active part in allergic reactions, can stimulate fibrosis processes (e.g. in tumor tissues), have a cytotoxic effect (in reactions directed against helminths), etc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
