Astrocytes serve as integrative hubs regulating sleep and arousal.
Astrocytes help control sleep and arousal. A new study in PLOS Biology shows that a wake-promoting signal called histamine affects how astrocytes respond to and modulate other brain signals and reduces time spent awake through astroglial histamine-1 ...

Successful Application of the Mast Cell Activation Test in Immediate Hypersensitivity to Amoxicillin
This study included 28 amoxicillin‐allergic patients and 11 healthy exposed controls. Mast cells were differentiated from CD34+ progenitors over 8 weeks using cytokine cocktails. The mast cell activation test involved sensitization with patient or control sera and stimulation with free amoxicillin or G4/G5‐AXO dendrimers with successfully activated ...

The Evolution of Sesame Seed Allergy Over Time
This study analyzes the natural history of sesame over time and the changes in biomarkers between sesame allergic and sesame sensitised but tolerant children. The period prevalence of sesame allergy increased from 0.5% between 12 and 36 m to 1.5% between 7 and 12 y children in the EAT‐On study with 10 children developing new sesame allergy. Sesame‐sIgE

Nasal Airway Transcriptome Reflects Selected Asthma‐Associated Gene Signatures in the Lower Airways
Seven genes and two gene modules were consistently associated with asthma in both airway compartments in ARMS and were validated in ATLANTIS. The two modules reflected IL‐13 related inflammation and mast cell activity, respectively. Nasal gene signatures provide a non‐invasive proxy for selected bronchial asthma‐associated gene signatures. ARMS, Asthma

Iron Physiology and Its Impact on Atopic Diseases: An EAACI Taskforce Report
ABSTRACT Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and immune regulation. Yet iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient disorder across all age groups, affecting nearly one quarter of the global population. Iron deficiency triggers nutritional immunity, a host defense mechanism that withholds and redistributes iron, contributing

Optimising the Diagnosis of Sesame Seed Allergy With the Basophil Activation Test
The basophil activation test (using the activation marker CD203c) was the only test able to both exclude and confirm sesame seed allergy with precision. A negative skin prick test to sesame extract or tahini and undetectable IgE to Ses i 1 could not rule out sesame seed allergy.
