IgE Antibodies: From Structure to Function and Clinical Translation
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies are well known for their role in mediating allergic reactions, and their powerful effector functions activated through binding to Fc receptors FcεRI and FcεRII/CD23.

A synthetic view of rainfall intensification in the West African Sahel
The West African Sahel has been facing for more than 30 years an increase in extreme rainfall with strong socio-economic impacts. This situation challenges decision-makers to define adaptation strategies in a rapidly changing climate.

Irida-Graphene: A New 2D Carbon Allotrope [PDF]
Several 2D carbon-based materials have been computationally designed in the last years due to the success achieved by graphene. Here, we propose a new 2D all-sp$^2$ carbon allotrope, named Irida-Graphene (IG), using a bottom-up approach. IG is composed of fused rings containing 3-6-8 carbon atoms.

Cow’s milk allergy (CMA) is one of the earliest and most common food allergy and can be elicited by both IgE- or non-IgE-mediated mechanism. We previously described dysbiosis in children with IgE-mediated CMA and the effect of dietary treatment with ...

Surface-layer turbulence, energy balance and links to atmospheric circulations over a mountain glacier in the French Alps [PDF]
Over Saint-Sorlin Glacier in the French Alps (45° N, 6.1° E; ∼ 3 km2) in summer, we study the atmospheric surface-layer dynamics, turbulent fluxes, their uncertainties and their impact on surface energy balance (SEB) melt estimates.

Epithelial damage and tissue γδ T cells promote a unique tumor-protective IgE response
IgE is an ancient and conserved immunoglobulin isotype with potent immunological function. Nevertheless, the regulation of IgE responses remains an enigma, and evidence of a role for IgE in host defense is limited. Here we report that topical exposure to

Differences in both prevalence and titre of specific immunoglobulin E among children with asthma in affluent and poor communities within a large town in Ghana. [PDF]
Background Reports from several African countries have noted an increasing prevalence of asthma in areas of extensive urbanization. Objective To investigate the relevance of allergen-specific sensitization and body mass index (BMI) to asthma/wheezing and

Anti-IgE therapy for IgE-mediated allergic diseases: from neutralizing IgE antibodies to eliminating IgE+ B cells [PDF]
Allergic diseases are inflammatory disorders that involve many types of cells and factors, including allergens, immunoglobulin (Ig)E, mast cells, basophils, cytokines and soluble mediators. Among them, IgE plays a vital role in the development of acute allergic reactions and chronic inflammatory allergic diseases, making its control particularly ...
