SUMMARY:Movement of eosinophils into lungs of patients with asthma\, C
 haos & Complex Systems Seminar\,  Deane Mosher\, UW Department of Biom
 olecular Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Eosinophils are granular leukocytes (white cells) that are
  relatively scarce in blood but more common in tissues. Tissue eosinop
 hils contribute to tissue homeostasis in the gut and other organs and 
 are a prominent component of inflammation associated with malignancies
 \, viral and helminthic infections\, allergic diseases such as asthma\
 , and orderly tissue repair. Among leukocytes\, eosinophils are except
 ional in a number of ways—content of eosinophilic granules\; complem
 ent of receptors and other molecules that control activation and traff
 icking\; complement of mediator-generating enzymes\; and polarization 
 upon activation into a granular compartment and a nucleopod\, a specia
 lized protrusion occupied by the nucleus. I will describe a series of 
 related processes that target blood eosinophils to the bronchial tree 
 of asthmatic patients.
