Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Karen Ming-Lam Leung"
- Karen Ming-Lam Leung's research focuses on the role of eosinophils and their interactions with various cell types in the context of allergic conditions like asthma and atopic dermatitis.
- Her findings indicate that NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are involved in the activation of eosinophils, which play a key role in allergic inflammation, although their responses to specific NLR ligands in certain contexts may be minimal.
- The studies highlight the effects of pruritogenic cytokines such as IL-31 and alarmins like IL-33 in promoting eosinophil activation and infiltration, underscoring their significance in the pathology of atopic dermatitis.
