“…This view has become more nuanced and now eosinophils are considered multifunctional leukocytes, true immunoregulatory cells with roles which imply: increase fibrosis, vascular leakage, angiogenesis, epithelial desquamation, epithelial metaplasia and smooth muscle hypertrophy (3). Recent studies suggest that instead of destructive endstage effector cells, eosinophils play an important role in regulating local immunity and in remodeling/repairing processes, either in normal conditions (plasma cells survival, thymic development and T-cell selection, metabolic homeostasis, female reproductive system, mammary gland development, reproductive homeostasis) and also in pathological conditions (cancer and tumor biology, transplant rejection, demyelinating diseases, pulmonary hypertension, acute lung injury, eosinophilic esophagitis, inflammatory bowel disease, allergic/chemical contact dermatitis) (3). Eosinophils represent approximately 1-5% (<500cells/µl) of all blood leukocytes.…”
