Journal of Clinical Immunology, 44(6), Article 147. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10875-024-01739-0

Purpose
Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections were widely reported during the COVID-19 pandemic, acting as a hidden source of infection. Many existing studies investigating asymptomatic immunity failed to recruit true asymptomatic individuals. Thus, we...

Allergies affect approximately 10–30% of people worldwide, with an increasing number of cases each year; however, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. In recent years, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been suggested to play a role... Read More about The Role of Extracellular Vesicles in Allergic Sensitization: A Systematic Review.

The Role of Extracellular Vesicles in Atopic Dermatitis (2024)
Journal Article

Atopic dermatitis, or eczema, is the most common chronic skin disorder, characterized by red and pruritic lesions. Its etiology is multifaceted, involving an interplay of factors, such as the allergic immune response, skin barrier dysfunction, and dy...

Rheumatology Advances in Practice, 7(3), Article rkad097. https://doi.org/10.1093/rap/rkad097

Objective: Antibody responses to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines are reduced among immunocompromised patients but are not well quantified among people with rare disease. We conducted an observational study to evaluate the antibody respon...

Introduction:

Peanut allergy is one of the most prevalent food allergies globally. Currently, most research into the mechanisms involved in protein allergy focuses on the protein allergens under investigation, and information on the function of a...
