    Eosinophils are central regulators of intestinal homeostasis, immune modulation, and tissue adaptation in the gastrointestinal tract.

  • 2

    Eosinophils originate from hematopoietic stem cells and follow a regulated development pathway influenced by specific transcription factors.

  • 3

    Chemokines like eotaxin and cytokines such as IL-5 are crucial for eosinophil recruitment, survival, and function in both homeostatic and inflammatory conditions.

  • 4

    Intestinal eosinophils exhibit functional heterogeneity, contributing to pathogen defense, tissue repair, and interactions with the microbiota.

  • 5

    Recent advances in technologies have enhanced the understanding of eosinophil diversity and their roles in mucosal immunity.
