This eosinophil necklace in 18K gold vermeil is for the haematologist, allergist or lab scientist who knows the cell on sight, and for anyone who wants to give her one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top:2em;\"\u003eWhere Eosinophils Live\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the body's eosinophils are not in the blood at all. They are made in the bone marrow, spend less than a day in circulation, then settle in tissues, above all the lining of the gut, where they can live for a week or more. A blood count only catches them in transit. Their growth depends on a signalling molecule called interleukin-5. That dependence became a treatment: mepolizumab, an antibody that blocks interleukin-5, was approved in 2015 for severe eosinophilic asthma and lowers the number of eosinophils in the blood and the airways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top:2em;\"\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea haematologist or lab scientist who reads blood smears every day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ean allergist or respiratory doctor who treats eosinophilic asthma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea medical student or resident finishing her haematology rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esomeone who already wears the eosinophil necklace in silver and wants the gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eyourself, if gold is what you wear every day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top:2em;\"\u003eExplore Related Cellular Biology Jewelry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/eosinophil\"\u003eeosinophil necklace | silver\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/red-blood-cells-necklace-s-gold-vermeil\"\u003ered blood cells necklace S | gold vermeil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/antibody-18k-gold-plated\"\u003eantibody necklace | gold vermeil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/neutrophil\"\u003eneutrophil necklace | silver\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top:2em;\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:1.75em;\"\u003eHow big is the pendant, and what chain comes with it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pendant is 16 mm across (about 0.6 inches), about the size of a 1-cent euro coin and a little smaller than a US dime. It hangs from a single loop on a 45 cm (17.7 inch) gold vermeil chain with a lobster clasp and a 5 cm (2 inch) extender. 18K gold vermeil means 2.5 microns of 18K gold over solid sterling silver, nickel-free and hypoallergenic. To keep the gold bright, wipe it with a soft cloth and store it dry in its box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:1.75em;\"\u003eIs there a silver version?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Jean-Martin Charcot described them in 1853, and Ernst von Leyden found them in the sputum of people with asthma in 1872. For more than a century they were a curiosity under the microscope. In 1993 they were shown to be made of galectin-10, a protein eosinophils carry in large amounts. In 2019 Bart Lambrecht's team in Ghent reported in Science that the crystals themselves drive airway inflammation and thick mucus in mice, and that antibodies can dissolve them within minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n","brand":"sciencejewelry1824","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56991654773122,"sku":"NK0407-GV","price":215.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1411\/4806\/files\/eosinophil-gold-vermeil.png?v=1792591570","url":"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/eosinophil-gold-vermeil","provider":"sciencejewelry1824","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
