- Abstract
The article discusses research being done on the role of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) in the development of eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE). It references a study by M. Noti and colleagues which appeared in a 2013 issue of "Nature Medicine." A mice model of EoE was used in this study. Results of the study showed that there was an association between EoE and increased TSLP expression, as well as elevated levels of messenger RNA, T helper 2-type cytokines and basophil-specific protease.
