Burning incense can pose health risks for those with allergies and asthma October 24, 2024
A new medically challenging case warns that, for those with allergies and asthma, health problems from burning incense can be a significant risk to adults and children.
New test improves diagnosis of allergies October 15, 2024
Researchers have developed a test to simplify the diagnosis of allergies. Its effectiveness has now been confirmed in clinical samples from children and adolescents suffering from a peanut allergy. The results could fundamentally improve the clinical diagnosis of allergies in future.
Psychological distress in adults and caregivers about food allergy is widespread and unrecognized October 3, 2024
Psychological distress is common amongst those living with food allergy, but a new study has shown that little support is available to those who are struggling.
Researchers identify mechanism underlying allergic itching, and show it can be blocked September 4, 2024
Researchers identified a mechanism for why some people will itch from an allergen or mosquito bite exposure, while others will not in a new study, and showed this pathway can be targeted to prevent allergic responses in preclinical models.
How early-life antibiotics turn immunity into allergy August 20, 2024
Researchers have shown how and why the depletion of microbes in a newborn's gut by antibiotics can lead to lifelong respiratory allergies. The research team identified a specific cascade of events that lead to allergies and asthma, opening many new avenues for exploring potential preventions and treatments.
Season of birth is associated with the development of asthma and allergic rhinitis August 14, 2024
Being born in autumn or winter is associated with asthma and allergic rhinitis in Finland, a new registry-based study shows.
Allergy cells' hidden secret August 2, 2024
Known for their role in allergic reactions, mast cells have long been recognised as key players in our immune system. When they encounter allergens, they release chemicals that trigger typical allergy symptoms such as tissue swelling and inflammation. Now, researchers have discovered a hidden talent of mast cells: they can capture and use another type […]
Early life antibiotic increases risk of asthma: providing clues to a potential prevention adult asthma July 15, 2024
Early exposure to antibiotics can trigger long term susceptibility to asthma, according to new research. Importantly the research team isolated a molecule produced by gut bacteria that in the future could potentially be trialed as a simple treatment, in the form of a dietary supplement, for children at risk of asthma to prevent them developing […]
Could a dietary fiber supplement offer long-awaited treatment for food allergy sufferers? July 9, 2024
A study has identified a potential new treatment for food allergies in inulin, a naturally occurring plant fiber commonly used as a supplement, a prebiotic in soda, a replacement for sweeteners and for other products and purposes.
First step in allergic reactions, paving the way for new preventative strategies June 4, 2024
Scientists have identified how the first domino falls after a person encounters an allergen, such as peanuts, shellfish, pollen or dust mites. Their discovery could herald the development of drugs to prevent these severe reactions.
