Volumetric Comparison of Overall Brain and Neuropil Size Between Social and Non‐social Spiders: Exploring the Social Brain Hypothesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Brain size may be influenced by the cognitive demands of sociality (social brain hypothesis). We used microCT to compare CNS and brain volumes in social versus solitary huntsman and crab spiders. Social huntsman spiders had larger arcuate and mushroom bodies, while social crab spiders had larger visual neuropils.

Efficacy of House Dust Mite Immunotherapy in Chinese Allergic Rhinitis Patients With Diverse Sensitization Patterns: A Multicenter Study (COVER Study)

Allergy, EarlyView.
This prospective multicenter study corroborates the efficacy of AIT with the native HDM allergen extract in Chinese AR patients with diverse HDM sensitization patterns. HDM sensitization pattern affects the efficacy of AIT, with patients sensitized to both major and minor allergens of HDM showing improved outcomes with HDM SCIT.

Prolonged IL‐33 Exposure Switches the Secreted Mast Cell Cytokine Profile From Pro‐Inflammatory to Pro‐Tolerant

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study investigates the effect of IL‐33 and Hymenoptera venom on mast cell cytokine profiles under venom immunotherapy (VIT)‐like conditions. Our in vitro model of VIT‐like mast cell stimulation demonstrates a modulatory effect of IL‐33 on the secreted mast cell cytokine profile.

Molecular IgE Reactivity Profiling With Micro‐Arrayed Allergens Reveals Distinct Interregional Patterns of Sensitization and a Hypoallergenic Region in Türkiye

Allergy, EarlyView.
A prospective, systematic and cross‐sectional population study was performed involving 1000 adult subjects from five centers representing different climatic areas of Türkiye (Turkey). Molecular IgE profiling demonstrated substantial interregional variation and identified a hypoallergenic region in the easternmost area with a continental climate.
