A site for sore eyes: New target for allergies found under the eyelid
Scientists have found a protein in the eye which plays a critical role in how an allergic response develops over a 24-hour period. The University College London (UCL) team hope their discovery will pave the way for new treatments for allergic diseases such as asthma, eczema and hay fever. view more (2005-01-11)
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)
Blocked gene may provide new treatment for allergies
Allergic reactions like hay fever can recur over long periods since the allergenic mast cells survive and revive. A team of Uppsala scientists have now identified the mast cell's survival gene, and by blocking this gene, they can inhibit allergic reactions, opening new avenues for treatment. These findings have been published in Monday's issue... view more... (2001-12-05)
Stressed intestine can give rise to food allergy
The intestines of mice which have been subjected to stress, overreact to certain nutritional substances. PhD biologist Annette van Kalkeren from the University of Amsterdam has investigated the relationship between stress and the occurrence of food allergies and various intestinal disorders. The biologist investigated the reaction of pieces of... view more... (2002-04-18)
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)
Key molecular signaling switch involved in allergic disease identified
A research team has identified a key enzyme responsible for triggering a chain of events that results in allergic reaction, according to new study findings published online this week in Nature Immunology. view more (2006-10-30)
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)
Researchers identify a protein that could banish allergies
The suffering of millions of people with allergies could one day be eased thanks to new research from UK investigators. Findings from the University College London branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR), published in this week's Nature, detail how inactivating a key signalling molecule called p110delta reduced the effect of... view more...

More than half the US population is sensitive to one or more allergens
More than fifty percent of the U.S. population tested positive to one or more allergens, according to a large national study. view more (2005-08-05)
Modeling pathogen responses
The search for a vaccination against HIV has been in progress since 1984, with very little success. Traditional methods used for identifying potential cellular targets can be very costly and time-consuming. view more (2007-10-12)
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...

Vaccine new treatment for allergies?
A vaccine against allergies. This may be the eventual result of research at Uppsala university in Sweden. New findings are presented by Anna Ledin in her doctoral dissertation. She vaccinated dogs and rats against their own IgE antibodies, and shows that their allergic symptoms diminished. The type of antibody called IgE is part of the body's... view more... (2004-05-27)
Desensitization protocol overcomes allergy to clopidogrel
A careful desensitization protocol can help patients overcome allergic reactions to anti-clotting medication critical to preventing new blockages inside coronary stents. view more (2006-05-12)
Common fragrance ingredients in shampoos and conditioners are frequent causes of eczema
Considerably more people than previously believed are allergic to the most common fragrance ingredient used in shampoos, conditioners and soap. view more (2009-03-30)
Role seen for cannabis in helping to alleviate allergic skin disease
Administering a substance found in the cannabis plant can help the body's natural protective system alleviate an allergic skin disease (allergic contact dermatitis), an international group of researchers from Germany, Israel, Italy, Switzerland and the U.S. has found. view more (2007-08-17)
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...

Researchers at Children's Discover Connection between Allergic Diseases and Autoimmune Diseases
A new study by researchers at Children's and the University of Washington (UW) identifies a connection between allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, and autoimmune diseases. view more (2007-04-04)
Malfunction of the respiratory epithelium is a cause of allergy?
One reason for the development of allergy may be malfunction of the respiratory epithelium, which allows allergens to bind to, enter and travel through the epithelium. view more (2009-04-03)
National Jewish Medical and Research Center Evaluating Treatment To Prevent Allergic Reactions to Food
Researchers at National Jewish Medical and Research Center are conducting trials to evaluate a method to prevent allergic reactions to food. They are feeding peanut- and egg-allergic people increasing doses of an investigational protein extract from the foods to see if they can induce the participants' immune systems to tolerate the food. view more (2008-04-18)
