The prevalence of allergic rhinitis is rising, and it is impacting children’s growth and quality of life. To uncover unconventional treatment modalities, research was carried out to clarify the significance of novel components in the pathophysi...
The treatment of allergic conditions presents a challenge for both seasonal allergic rhinitis and perennial rhinitis sufferers. The increasing prevalence of both of these types of allergic responses requires the use of a range of treatments which can...
Most of the allergenic proteins from fruits identified so far belong to different families of pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins. These PR proteins have been classified in different families of structurally and functionally unrelated proteins, but th...
This review explores strategies for mitigating food allergies by treating foods with biopolymers, bioactive compounds, and food-grade enzymes. Biopolymers like chitosan, alginate, and pectin show potential in reducing the allergenic properties of foo...
The search for an effective treatment of allergic conditions is an ongoing global health challenge due to the high prevalence of allergies. Epinephrine and glucocorticosteroids remain the oldest and most widely used treatment regimen for allergy, and...
The present work was aimed at identifying the IgE-binding epitopic regions on the surface of the Cup s 3 allergen from the common cypress Cupressus sempervirens, that are possibly involved in the IgE-binding cross-reactivity reported between Cupressa...
Asthma is a common respiratory disease that affects people of all ages, characterized by considerable heterogeneity in age, clinical presentation, genetics, epigenetics, environmental factors, treatment response, and prognostic outcomes. Asthma affec...
Peanut allergy presents a significant and growing public health concern, marked by its increasing prevalence and potential for severe allergic reactions. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as skin prick testing and serum IgE assays, serve as corner...
