Scientists have found that children with both atopic dermatitis and food allergy have structural and molecular differences in top layers of skin near the eczema lesions, whereas children with atopic dermatitis alone don’t. Defining these differences may help identify children at risk for developing food allergies. Lesen Sie weiter auf: Scientists identify unique subtype of […]
Using Shrinky Dinks, a popular children’s toy, engineers have created wearable, disposable respiration sensors that track the rate and volume of a wearer’s breath. The new device will help sufferers of asthma and many other pulmonary conditions.

Researchers have found that treating psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, with biologic drugs that target immune system activity can reduce the early plaque buildup that clogs arteries, restricts blood flow, and leads to heart attacks and st…

A study of over 96,000 UK men and women, of average age 64.5 years, has found that those with chronic conditions are spending considerably less time on physical activity than their healthy peers, so are missing out on its health management benefits. Le…
Researchers revealed that the immune cells basophils caused emphysema in mice with COPD-like features induced by intranasal administration of elastase. They showed that basophils, previously linked mainly to allergies and fighting parasites, initiated …

Older patients with a diagnosis of chronic sinusitis — a disease of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses that often persists over many years — have a unique inflammatory signature that may render them less responsive to steroid treatment, according to a new study.

Fecal transplants could be used to treat intestinal disorders like inflammatory bowel disease — and perhaps even help prevent Alzheimer’s and cancer — if we can unlock the secrets of the gut-rejuvenating ’super donor,‘ say researchers.

New research suggests that the gut microbiome may help prevent the development of cow’s milk allergy. Scientists found that gut microbes from healthy human infant donors transplanted into mice protected animals exposed to milk from experiencing allergic reactions, while gut microbes transplanted from infants allergic to milk did not.
