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)
Scientists discover way to control allergic reactions
Scientists have discovered a novel method to reduce cat allergic reactions by topping up the immune cells responsible for controlling them. view more (2005-04-06)
Louse infestation calibrates immune system regulation
Some parasites can exert a moderating effect on the immune system, perhaps reducing the risk of developing immune dysfunctions like asthma, allergies and some forms of arthritis. view more (2009-04-22)
Milk is safe, even encouraged, for some children after treatment for milk allergy

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)
New allergy vaccine provides long-lasting hay fever relief after just 6 weeks of shots
Researchers at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have successfully used an experimental DNA-based vaccine to protect against ragweed allergies, commonly known as hay fever, after just six injections. view more (2006-10-05)
Study indicates different treatment may be needed for infection-related breathing problems
New research suggests that different treatments may be needed for chronic asthma, depending on whether it results from allergies or lung infections. view more (2007-01-31)
Corticosteroid therapy may be associated with irregular heartbeat
High doses of medications known as corticosteroids may be linked to an increased risk for atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder characterized by an irregular heartbeat. view more (2006-05-09)
The shape of allergy - what makes an allergen an allergen
An enduring mystery for allergy researchers has been the unpredictable distribution of allergens in plants. For example, being allergic to birch pollen can predispose a person to allergy from distantly related plant foods such as celery, apple or soy. view more (2005-01-07)
Patients and doctors lack knowledge about adrenaline injections
Patients and general practitioners lack knowledge of how and when to use devices to inject adrenaline after anaphylaxis (severe allergic reactions), finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2003-12-03)
A Jekyll and Hyde of cytokines: IL-25 both promotes and limits inflammatory diseases
The same signal responsible for promoting the type of immune responses that cause asthma and allergy can also limit the type of inflammation associated with debilitating diseases like inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and multiple sclerosis. view more (2006-04-10)
Allergy drug slows pancreatic tumor growth in preclinical studies
