Researchers lay groundwork for potential dog-allergy vaccine

Scientists have identified a series of molecular candidates for those parts of dog allergens that cause immune reactions in people

17-Jan-2022 - There have been many research efforts describing the nature and progression of dog allergies, but there have been very few applied studies that use this information to try to cure people of dog allergies entirely by artificially inducing immune tolerance. But researchers have now for the first ...

Defective Epithelial Barriers Linked to Two Billion Chronic Diseases

Rise in allergic and autoimmune conditions

07-May-2021 - Humans are exposed to a variety of toxins and chemicals every day. According to the epithelial barrier hypothesis, exposure to many of these substances damages the epithelium, the thin layer of cells that covers the surface of our skin, lungs and intestine. Defective epithelial barriers have been ...

Dust mite allergens trigger inflammatory responses

Dust mite allergens activate the pulmonary immune system, thereby triggering allergies

02-Jul-2020 - A research team at MedUni Vienna, working in cooperation with the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, has discovered how certain dust mite allergens activate a well-known inflammatory factor – serum amyloid A protein –and can thus “trim” the lung tissue “in the direction of allergy”. The ...

Cow's milk protein beta-lactoglobulin prevents allergies

New key molecule for the so-called protective farm effect

01-Jul-2020 - Numerous studies have shown that growing up on a farm and drinking natural, unprocessed cow's milk in early childhood protects against the development of immunoglobulins E (IgE), which are responsible for allergy symptoms. A recent study led by Franziska Roth-Walter and Erika Jensen-Jarolim from ...
