Thank you for highlighting this important discovery @snacksafely.bsky.social #foodallergy #immunosky #microbiomesky #medsky #pedsky #science

In a recent #ScienceImmunology Review, researchers discuss how interactions between the nervous and immune systems could impact neurological disorders and allergy-related behaviors like food avoidance. Learn more: scim.ag/4mpgzE5

What is the mechanism of food-induced anaphylaxis? Today @science.org unravelled www.science.org/doi/full/10.... Gut mast cell leukotriene release @rmedzhitov.bsky.social

Why do some allergic reactions turn deadly—while others stay mild? Two new @science.org papers, funded by @FASI and led by our researchers, uncover the gut–immune connection that may hold the answer. 🧵👇 #FoodAllergy #Anaphylaxis #immunosky #GutHealth #allergysky #medsky #microbiomesky

Siglecs may hold the key to safer, more effective food allergy therapy. New findings show how targeting these immune receptors could reduce allergic reactions at the source. #FoodAllergy #Immunology #Siglecs doi.org/10.1111/cea....

Great Research spotlight! One of our FASI funded PIs @danmucida.bsky.social is one of the five papers! Stay tuned as we plan to share more about that work next month!

Not one, not two .... but FIVE recent papers highlighting a role for RORgt+ antigen-presenting cells in the gut in establishing tolerance to food antigens #oraltolerance #immunosky #foodallergy

Our new Immunity paper is in print—and that an oil painting I made was chosen for the cover 😊 It visualizes “affinity birth,” the generative force of SHM creating new antibody specificities beyond V(D)J. #Immunology #AffinityBirth #SciArt #Bcells #SHM

Dr. Daniel Mucida from the The Rockefeller University 🇺🇸 will be presenting his work on "Immune-epithelial cell interactions during food allergy". Check his recent study on antigen-presenting cells and dietary allergens: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39700315/ @danmucida.bsky.social #EMBOBarrierTissues

Great @science.org review on Neuroimmune--a lot of FASI PIs research is cited, and FASI is proud to have pioneered the field of neuroimmunology in Food Allergies. Follow us for the latest in food allergy research! #immunosky #foodallergy #allergysky #micobiomesky

New from FASI investigator Dr. Andrew Wang: T cells trained by the gut microbiome live in the brain and help keep it in balance—until the microbiome is disrupted. This gut-brain-immune link may be key to food allergy tolerance. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #Microbiomesky #allergysky #immunosky

Three critical questions are at the core of our mission. By delving into the science behind these questions, we are working to uncover new insights that can improve the lives of millions affected by food allergies. #allergysky #immunosky #medsky

Why do some allergic reactions turn deadly? Research from FASI PI Dr. Stephanie Eisenbarth identifies a rare immune cell—TFH13—that triggers high-affinity IgE production, a key driver of anaphylaxis. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31371561 #immunosky #allergysky #pedsky #medsky #foodallergies
