    Oh I forgot to answer why they’re looking into these cells more acutely.

    Apparently they’ll be able to treat disorders more accurately by virtue of identifying new therapeutic agents the more they know about how eosinophil cells function.

    Yes, looks like there have been multiple significant recent advancements in understanding how they function and the subtypes of eosinophil cells there are, curious about something in particular?

    This article is interesting about the recent interest in determining the makeup of esinophils and how they affect various processes in the body and organs.
