Abstract

The immunologic causes of allergic rhinitis underscore the important roles of both adaptive and innate immune systems. In recent years, appreciation of the role of nasal innate immunity has grown and evidence suggests that the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis is partially mediated by the innate immune system. This review focuses on our current knowledge and recent discoveries in nasal innate immunity as they pertain to the cause and management of allergic rhinitis. Previously thought to be nonspecific, innate immunity also possesses specific mechanisms as demonstrated by toll-like receptors. The interplay between the external environment and nasal mucosa contributes to innate-immune-mediated development of allergic rhinitis. Certain innate immune cells such as plasmacytoid dendritic cells and natural killer T cells may be important in the induction of Th2 cytokine production characterized in allergic airway disease. The increasing knowledge of nasal innate immunity gained from recent research not only expands our understanding of the causes of allergic rhinitis, it also leads to new therapeutic approaches. Although current management of allergic rhinitis includes one or a combination of pharmacotherapy, immunotherapy, and/or s...Continue Reading

Molecular imaging enables noninvasive imaging of key molecules that are crucial to tumor biology. Discover the latest research in molecular imaging in cancer biology in this feed.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

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.
