The Expanding Role(s) of Eosinophils in Health and Disease

---

Surprisingly, the role(s) of eosinophils in health and disease is often summarized by clinicians and basic research scientists as a pervasive consensus opinion first learned in medical/graduate school: Eosinophils are rare white blood cells whose activities are primarily destructive and are only relevant in parasitic infections and asthma. However, is this consensus correct? This review will argue that the wealth of available studies investigating the role(s) of eosinophils in both health and disease demonstrate that the activities of these granulocytes are far more expansive and complex than previously appreciated.
