Abstract
Previously, eosinophils were primarily regarded as effector toxic cells involved in allergic diseases and parasitic infections. Nevertheless, new research has shown that eosinophils are diverse and essential for immune regulation and tissue homeostasis. Their functional plasticity has been observed in patients with inflammatory diseases, cancer, infections, and other disorders. Although eosinophils are infrequently observed within the liver during periods of homeostasis, they are recruited to the liver in various liver diseases, including liver parasitosis, acute liver injury, autoimmune liver disease, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Furthermore, eosinophils have demonstrated the capacity to promote liver regeneration. This article explores the multifaceted roles of eosinophils in liver diseases, aiming to provide insights that could lead to more effective clinical therapies for these conditions.
期刊介绍：
"Cell and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology (CMGH)" is a journal dedicated to advancing the understanding of digestive biology through impactful research that spans the spectrum of normal gastrointestinal, hepatic, and pancreatic functions, as well as their pathologies. The journal's mission is to publish high-quality, hypothesis-driven studies that offer mechanistic novelty and are methodologically robust, covering a wide range of themes in gastroenterology, hepatology, and pancreatology.
CMGH reports on the latest scientific advances in cell biology, immunology, physiology, microbiology, genetics, and neurobiology related to gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and pancreatic health and disease. The research published in CMGH is designed to address significant questions in the field, utilizing a variety of experimental approaches, including in vitro models, patient-derived tissues or cells, and animal models. This multifaceted approach enables the journal to contribute to both fundamental discoveries and their translation into clinical applications, ultimately aiming to improve patient care and treatment outcomes in digestive health.
