Abstract

All over the world, there is an increase in the overall survival of the population and the number of elderly people. The incidence of allergic reactions is also rising worldwide. Until recently, allergies, and in particular food allergies (FAs), was regarded as a pediatric problem, sinc...read more

Food Hypersensitivity

Food hypersensitivity is divided into food allergy and non-allergic food hypersensitivity, the latter of which is also known as food intolerance. Food allergy is an abnormal immune response to food while food intolerance is a detrimental reaction, often delayed, to a food, beverage, food additive, or compound found in foods that produces symptoms in one or more body organs and systems. Discover the latest research on food hypersensitivity.

Immunosenescence

Immunosenescence is defined as changes in the innate and adaptive immune response associated with increased age. Discover the latest research on immunosenescence here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Innate Immunity: Neurodegeneration

The innate immune system is a first line of defense against infection. Pathological states can occur if there is over activation of the innate immune system, particularly in the. The excessive activation of these cells can lead to inflammation and neurodegenerative diseases. Here is the latest research on innate immunity and neurodegeneration.

Food Toxicology

Food toxicology is the study of potential toxins or harmful synthetic agents in food and how these can lead to adverse health outcomes in living organisms, including humans. Here is the latest research on food toxicology.

Food Allergy Pathogenesis

Food allergies result from an immune response to food molecules and are classified as either IgE-mediated, non-IgE-mediated or both. Discover the latest research on Food Allergy Pathogenesis here.

Inflammation during Aging

Slow, low-grade inflammation occurs during aging, however the mechanisms that are involved are still largely unclear. Pro-inflammatory biomarkers have been associated with cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. Here is the latest research on inflammation during aging.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
