Biologic and Small Molecule Therapy for Treating Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis: Mechanistic Considerations
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex and heterogeneous skin disease where achieving complete clinical clearance for most patients has proven challenging through single cytokine inhibition. Current studies integrate biomarkers and evaluate their role in AD, aiming to advance our understanding of the diverse molecular profiles implicated. While traditionally characterized as a Th2-driven disease, extensive research has recently revealed the involvement of Th1, Th17, and Th22 immune pathways, as well as the interplay of pivotal immune molecules, such as OX40, OX40 ligand (OX40L), thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and IL-33....

A mutation in Themis contributes to anaphylaxis severity following oral peanut challenge in CC027 mice
The development of peanut allergy is due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors, although specific genes have proven difficult to identify. Previously, we reported that peanut-sensitized CC027/GeniUnc (CC027) mice develop anaphylaxis upon oral challenge to peanut, unlike C3H/HeJ (C3H) mice.

Distinct proteomes and allergen profiles appear across the life cycle stages of Alternaria alternata
Alternaria alternata is associated with allergic respiratory diseases, which can be managed with allergen extract-based diagnostics and immunotherapy. It is not known how spores and hyphae contribute to allergen content. Commercial allergen extracts are manufactured by extracting proteins without separating the different forms of the fungus.

Inter-Alpha-Trypsin Inhibitor Heavy Chain 4 (ITIH4) as a Compensatory Protease Inhibitor in Hereditary Angioedema (HAE)
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a genetic disorder that manifests as recurrent angioedema attacks, most frequently due to absent or reduced C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) activity. C1-INH is a crucial regulator of enzymatic cascades in the complement, fibrinolytic, and contact systems. Inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain 4 (ITIH4) is an abundant plasma protease inhibitor that can inhibit enzymes in the proteolytic pathways associated with HAE. Nothing is known about its role in HAE. (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)

β1 integrin-mediated mast cell immune-surveillance of blood vessel content
Immunoglobulin E, IgE)-mediated degranulation of mast cells, MCs) provides rapid protection against environmental hazards, including animal venoms. A fraction of tissue-resident MCs intimately associates with blood vessels. These perivascular MCs were reported to extend projections into the vessel lumen and to be the first MCs to acquire intravenously injected IgE, suggesting that IgE loading of MCs depends on their vascular association.

A Practical Guide for Implementing Omalizumab Therapy for Food Allergy
The recent approval of omalizumab for the treatment of IgE-mediated food allergy is an important step forward for the millions of food allergy patients in the US. Through the depletion of circulating IgE and the subsequent reduction of FC εR1 on key effector cells, patients increase their tolerance to food allergens. However, omalizumab does not permit patients to eat foods that they are allergic to with impunity. Rather, it protects them from most accidental exposures. In addition, omalizumab does not cure food allergy and has not demonstrated true immunomodulation. (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)
