Type 2 immunity in the brain and brain borders
Cell Mol Immunol. 2023 Jul 10. doi: 10.1038/s41423-023-01043-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecent research in neuroimmunology has revolutionized our understanding of the intricate interactions between the immune system and the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS, an "immune-privileged organ", is now known to be intimately connected to the immune system through different cell types and cytokines. While type 2 immune responses have traditionally been associated with allergy and parasitic infections, emerging evidence suggests that these responses also play a crucial role in CNS homeostasis and disease pathogenesis. Type...

The Relationship of Parasite Allergens to Allergic Diseases
AbstractPurpose of ReviewHelminth infections modify the natural history of allergic diseases, by either decreasing or increasing their symptoms. Several helminth components are involved in the increasing of the allergic response and symptoms, overcoming the concomitant immunosuppression of helminthiases. However, the role of individual IgE-binding molecules in this process remains to be defined.Recent FindingsWe updated the list of helminth allergens and IgE-binding molecules, their effects on asthma presentation, and their impact on allergy diagnosis. Data from genetic and epigenetic studies of ascariasis are analyzed. A ...

Feline heartworm disease and environmental allergens hypersensitivity: is there a link?
Cats can be infected by Dirofilaria immitis, the causative agent of heartworm disease, characterized by respiratory signs, airway hyperreactivity, remodelling and inflammation. Allergy is a multifactorial patholo...

Basic mechanisms of itch
Pruritus (or itch) is an unpleasant sensation leading to a desire to scratch. In the epidermis, are selective C or A δ epidermal nerve endings which are pruriceptors. At their other ends, peripheral neurons form synapses with spinal neurons and interneurons. Many areas in the central nervous system are involved in itch processing. Although itch does not occur solely because of parasitic, allergic, or immunologica l diseases, it is usually the consequence of neuro-immune interactions. Histamine is involved in a minority of itchy conditions, and many other mediators play a role: cytokines (e.g., IL-4, IL-13, IL-31, IL-33, a...

Eosinophilic inflammation of the digestive tract
Ann Pathol. 2023 May 10:S0242-6498(23)00091-3. doi: 10.1016/j.annpat.2023.04.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEosinophilic inflammation of the digestive tract is an inflammatory disease characterized by extensive infiltration of eosinophils into the gastrointestinal tract. It can be either a primary disorder of the digestive tract or be secondary to another cause of tissue eosinophilia. Primary disorders include eosinophilic esophagitis (OE) and eosinophilic gastroenteritis (GEEo). These are 2 rare pathologies considered to be diseases related to a Th2-mediated food allergy. The role of the pathologist is twofold: (1) he...
