Exposure To Bacteria Modulates Immune Response And Decreases Allergy In Farm Children (p 465)
Findings from a Research Letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide support for the idea that children who grow up on farms have fewer allergies because they are exposed to more microbes than other children. Farmers' children are known to be less prone to allergies than children who do not... view more (2002-08-07)
New national study links asthma to allergies

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. ... view more (2001-12-05)
