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 ...

In mice whose basophils were unable to produce IL-4, protease treatment did not cause lung inflammation, suggesting that basophil-derived IL-4 could be the main driver of protease-allergen-induced ...
