A New Approach to Asthma Treatment: Harnessing the Liver to Reprogram the Immune System
NYU Tandon School of Engineering

Researchers developed liver-targeted immunotherapy (LIT), a novel approach that chemically modifies allergens with mannose sugars, directing them to the liver where immune tolerance develops. In preclinical trials, just two LIT doses provided year-long asthma protection without triggering allergic reactions, outperforming traditional immunotherapy.

Johns Hopkins Medicine

New research, led by Johns Hopkins Children’s Center investigators and sponsored by the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), finds that omalizumab, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved (FDA) injectable drug for food allergies, performed better than oral immunotherapy. A subsequent phase of the study also found that patients may be able to introduce allergenic foods into their diets after stopping the medicine.

Form of Vitamin E Linked to Severe Allergy Prevention Early in Life
Indiana University

A new study in mice by researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine suggests that alpha-tocopherol, a form of vitamin E, may help prevent food allergies. The findings, recently published in the Journal of Immunology, indicate that increasing the intake of this vitamin during and after pregnancy could be an effective strategy for reducing serious food allergies and severe allergic reactions in infants and children.
