Key molecular signaling switch involved in allergic disease identified

A research team has identified a key molecular signaling switch involved in allergic disease, which could lead to the development of new strategies and target therapies. The discovery centers around ADAM10, an enzyme that releases a major allergy regulatory protein from cell surfaces, promoting a stronger allergic response.
