Research into the origins of sepsis has identified a type of rare white blood cell, basophils, as a potentially key component in preventing the development of the condition. What is the basophils ...

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 ...

In a paper published in Nature Immunology, scientists from Seattle Children's Research Institute reveal how a rare group of white blood cells called basophils play an important role in the immune ...

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 ...
