Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is a growing body of evidence on the role of diet in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases in children. Dietary factors may also contribute to preventive strategies. The evidence is growing, but established knowledge about the role of specific nutritional intervention in atopy, allergies, and asthma development is still missing. Therefore, a better understanding of the role of diet in these diseases seems to be critical for achieving progress in reducing their incidence and morbidity. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide up-to-date insights into the role of nutrition in allergy prevention and to search for intervention possibilities. Original research articles in both human and animal models, as well as narrated and systematic reviews and meta-analyses are highly welcome.
Prof. Dr. Barbara Sozanska
