Results from a new national survey demonstrate that elevated allergen levels in the home are associated with asthma symptoms in allergic individuals.   view more (2008-03-03)

Animal food allergens unmasked
The relatedness of an animal food protein to a human protein determines whether it can cause allergy, according to new research by scientists from the Institute of Food Research in Norwich and the Medical University of Vienna.   view more (2007-10-15)

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)

EXPOSURE TO CATS CAN INDUCE ASTHMA TOLERANCE (p 752)
Children exposed to cat allergens at home can produce an immune response without developing asthma, report authors of a study in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. However, in some children, exposure to cat allergens remains the highest single risk factor for asthma. Although asthma is strongly... view more (2001-03-07)

Mother's prenatal stress predisposes their babies to asthma and allergy
Women who are stressed during pregnancy may pass some of that frazzlement to their fetuses in the form of increased sensitivity to allergen exposure and possibly future asthma risk.   view more (2008-05-19)

Halting histamine action means hallelujah for hay fever sufferers
In allergic diseases such as asthma, hay fever, and rhinitis an allergen stimulates the release of antibodies that attach themselves to mast cells causing these cells to release histamine, which can cause symptoms like itching of the nose, skin and eyes, sneezing, and wheezing.   view more (2006-05-05)

N.C. A&T food scientist develops process for allergen-free peanuts
An agricultural researcher at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University has developed a simple process to make allergen-free peanuts.   view more (2007-07-24)

Friendly bacteria in alcoholic milkshake could fight food allergies
Feeding babies alcoholic milk may help to protect against some food allergies. Kefir, a traditional fermented drink, is consumed in Eastern Europe as a health food, and is often used to wean babies, as it is easily digested.   view more (2006-10-16)

New tests for nut allergens
Scientists in Florida have developed sensitive new tests to detect potentially fatal nut traces in food. Their study, published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, originally set out to find ways of processing nuts to make them safe for allergy sufferers. The techniques they... view more (2004-06-15)

New study on childhood asthma shows home-based interventions are cost-effective
New data suggest that a home-based environmental intervention program is a cost-effective way to improve the health of inner-city children who have moderate to severe asthma.   view more (2005-10-12)

An Overview Of Food Safety
Cases involving food safety and specific dangers associated with food production sectors have caused worry amongst businesses and a change in their attitudes regarding Food Hygiene. This has pushed them to search for new tools for food guarantees with the aim of integrating Food Hygiene into... view more (2004-06-15)

New study identifies kiwi fruit as 'significant allergen'
A new University of Southampton study concludes that kiwi fruit appears to be a significant food allergen capable of causing severe reactions, particularly in young children with other allergic reactions. The study, which was funded by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), highlights the increasing... view more (2004-07-06)

Asthma and other allergies tied to absence of specialized cells
When it comes to allergies, both the problem and the solution are found within us. Our immune systems respond to foreign substances with an arsenal of cells.   view more (2008-07-17)

HRCT Reveals Asthmatic Risk Long After Cat Allergen Exposure
For the first time, researchers have shown that cat allergens can impair lung function in people with asthma for up to 22 hours after exposure. The study was presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).   view more (2005-11-30)

Researchers demonstrate potential mechanism of food allergy
Researchers have identified one of the proteins that may be responsible for causing food allergies, which could lead to the development of more accurate non-invasive tests to identify true food allergies.   view more (2006-07-24)

Allergy battle could be won in five years, says scientist
Researchers, working with colleagues at St George's, University of London, are developing drugs designed to stop allergens from entering the body, so rendering them harmless.   view more (2006-07-13)
