Mechanisms of allergic disease - environmental and genetic determinants for the development of allergyEnvironmental exposures including maternal inflammation, diet, nutrient balance, microbial colonization and toxin exposures can directly and indirectly...

Blood DNA methylation biomarkers predict clinical reactivity in food-sensitized infantsThe diagnosis of food allergy (FA) can be challenging because approximately half of food-sensitized patients are asymptomatic.

Cohort profile of the HealthNuts study: Population prevalence and environmental/genetic predictors of food allergyHealthNuts is a single-centre, multi-wave, population-based longitudinal study designed to assess prevalence, determinants, natural history and allergy...

Impaired calcium influx underlies skewed T helper cell differentiation in children with IgE-mediated food allergiesReasons for Th2 skewing in IgE-mediated food allergies remains unclear. Clinical observations suggest impaired T cell activation may drive Th2 responses evidenced by increased atopic manifestations in liver transplant patients on tacrolimus (a calcineurin inhibitor). We aimed to assess differentiation potential, T cell activation and calcium influx of naïve CD4+ T cells in children with IgE-mediated food allergies.

Food Proteins in Human Breast Milk and Probability of IgE-Mediated Allergic Reaction in Children During Breastfeeding: A Systematic ReviewPrevious reports suggested that food proteins present in human milk (HM) may trigger symptoms in allergic children during breastfeeding, but existing evidence has never been reviewed systematically.

Propofol use in children with allergies to egg, peanut, soybean or other legumesWe conclude that genuine serious allergic reaction to propofol is rare and is not reliably predicted by a history of food allergy

Food for thought: progress in understanding the causes and mechanisms of food allergyTreatments for food allergy are still lacking, yet progress is being made, and immunotherapy appears more effective than dietary avoidance.
