Using Human iPSCDerived Sensory Neurons in Pain Research for Allergy

Pain and irritation from allergens coming in contact with the skin can be simulated in pain models with human iPSC derived sensory neurons as a frontline method. Globally millions of individuals suffer from chronic pain that has a negative impact on their quality of life. It is important that scientists develop a better understanding of the mechanisms underpinning the pain response in human sensory neurons.

			Five facts to know about penicillin allergy You may think you have an allergy to penicillin, but you probably don't. Nine out of 10 people who believe they're allergic to the antibiotic either aren't allergic or have only some intolerance, and eight of 10 people who had an allergic reaction to penicillin 10 or more years ago will now be fine.

			Research offers new hope for seasonal allergy sufferers One in three people is plagued by an allergy, triggered by foodstuffs, fungi, house dust mites or on a seasonal basis due to pollen. The latter group is the largest: around 800 million people worldwide suffer from some form of allergy to pollen, with the usual symptoms such as a runny nose, cough and severe breathing problems.

	Researchers identify gene that increases risk of antibiotic reaction Researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and colleagues have identified a gene that increases the risk for a severe and potentially life-threatening reaction to the commonly prescribed antibiotic vancomycin.

	Risk of red meat allergy from tick bites higher than previously thought New research has shown that the risk of developing a red meat allergy after being bitten by a tick may be much higher than scientists had thought.

	Regular dietary peanut consumption after immunotherapy may extend allergy treatment benefits Regular dietary peanut consumption after completing oral immunotherapy or sublingual immunotherapy for peanut allergy may provide continued protection against accidental exposures to the allergen, according to a new study led by Edwin Kim, MD, who presented the findings at the annual American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology conference in San Francisco.

	European researchers develop biophotonic system to detect antibiotic allergies The detection of allergies to antibiotics is currently conducted with a series of in vivo skin tests; they are invasive, and as such, entail inconveniences.
