What Does EDN Stand For?

EDN stands for Eosinophil Derived Neurotoxin

EDN, or Eosinophil Derived Neurotoxin, is a protein released by eosinophils, a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response. EDN plays a critical role in modulating inflammatory processes and has been implicated in various diseases, including asthma and other allergic conditions. Its neurotoxic effects are attributed to the ability to disrupt nerve function and contribute to tissue damage in affected areas. Research into EDN continues to enhance our understanding of its role in health and disease, potentially informing new therapeutic strategies.
