Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by intense pruritus. The principal pathological features include abnormalities in the structure and function of the epidermis, as well as skin inflammation marked by the overexpression of T helper 2 cell (Th2) cytokines. Throughout the progression of AD, various immune cells contribute to its pathogenesis. Basophils, the least abundant granulocytes in the human peripheral circulation, have historically been overlooked. However, the advent of novel research tools has facilitated a renewed focus on the role of basophils in diverse physiological and pathological conditions, including AD. Accordingly, this review will primarily summarize the association between AD and basophils, the alterations observed in basophils among AD patients, and the implications of these changes for AD patients.
期刊介绍:
An international, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research, reports, editorials and commentaries on the following topics: Asthma; Pulmonary physiology; Asthma related clinical health; Clinical immunology and the immunological basis of disease; Pharmacological interventions and new therapies.
Although the main focus of the journal will be to publish research and clinical results in humans, preclinical, animal and in vitro studies will be published where they shed light on disease processes and potential new therapies.
