Scientists identify new role for lung epithelial cells in sensing allergens in the air
Researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, and at Ghent University in Ghent, Belgium, have identified a new role for certain lung cells in the immune response to airborne allergens. view more (2009-03-31)
Anthroposophic lifestyle reduces risk of allergic disease in children
Certain features of the anthroposophic lifestyle, such as restrictive use of antibiotics and fever antipyretics, reduce the risk of allergic disease in children, according to a new study. view more (2006-01-11)
Hydrolysed infant formula prevents childhood allergies in high risk children
Although breast-feeding is recommended to mothers as being the healthiest way to feed babies, it is not always possible. New evidence from a Cochrane review concludes that where exclusive breast-feeding is not possible for an infant, hydrolysed protein formulae in high-risk infants help prevent childhood allergies. Many young children who develop... view more... (2003-11-20)
Softening agent from PVC cause of asthma and allergic symptoms among children
There is a clear co-variation between allergic symptoms in children and the concentration of softening agents in their homes. This is a finding made by a Swedish-Danish research team in a recently published study financed by Formas, the Swedish Research Council for Environment, Agricultural Sciences, and Spatial Planning. "A great number of... view more... (2004-08-16)
Pilot Study Successful in Taming Allergic Reactions to Food
Children who were allergic to eggs were able to essentially overcome their allergy by gradually consuming increased quantities of eggs over time, researchers at Duke University Medical Center and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences have found in a small pilot study. view more (2006-11-27)
Homoeopathy is not an effective treatment for asthma
Homoeopathic remedies are no better than placebo for the treatment of asthmatic patients who are allergic to house dust mite, but there is a difference in response between homoeopathy and placebo, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. The research team identified 242 asthmatic people allergic to house dust mite. Participants received either... view more... (2002-02-27)
Early cat exposure can increase some children's eczema risk
Children who are exposed to cats soon after birth may have an increased risk of developing eczema. view more (2006-05-22)
Abnormal immune cells may cause unprovoked anaphylaxis
Two new clinical reports shed light on why some people suffer from recurrent episodes of idiopathic anaphylaxis--a potentially life-threatening condition of unknown cause characterized by a drop in blood pressure, fainting episodes, difficulty in breathing, and wheezing. view more (2007-11-12)
Study reveals dramatic rise in allergic diseases
Dramatic increases in admissions to hospital for allergic diseases have occurred in England over the last decade, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers in London used national hospital discharge statistics from 1990-1 to 2000-1 to identify trends in admissions for four allergic conditions (anaphylaxis, angio-oedema, food allergy, and... view more...

Common chemotherapy drug triggers fatal allergic reactions
A chemotherapy drug that is supposed to help save cancer patients' lives, instead resulted in life-threatening and sometimes fatal allergic reactions. view more (2009-06-09)
Unlocking biological secrets: Cornell scientists build 'nano-keys' to bind cell receptors and trigger allergic reactions
The tumblers of life continue to click as Cornell University researchers have fabricated a set of "nano-keys" on the molecular scale to interact with receptors on cell membranes and trigger larger-scale responses within cells - such as the release of histamines in an allergic response. view more (2006-02-17)
Improved immune diagnostics
With many forms of illness, such as allergies, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis or multiple sclerosis, the success of therapy can be shown by the absence or presence of certain cells and the proteins they produce. Today, this can be ascertained in a number of different ways. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Aerosol Research... view more... (2000-01-27)
Survey highlights 'crucial' safety issues in rhinitis treatment, particularly in children
Children may be at risk of receiving rhinitis treatment that suppresses growth - but the problem can be avoided through careful selection of treatment. This was the overwhelming message emerging from a recent nationwide survey of ENT specialists. According to the findings, the vast majority (91%) of specialists surveyed said they considered growth... view more... (2001-06-28)
Research in PNAS by Hydra shows that TRP ion channel drug can treat allergy-induced asthma
Hydra Biosciences, Inc., a biotech company developing novel ion channel drugs, today announced that research published by Hydra Biosciences scientists and collaborators at Yale University for the first time identified the ion channel TRPA1 as playing an essential role in allergic asthma and demonstrated that Hydra's TRPA1 antagonist HC-030031... view more...
