Oral immunotherapy (OIT) for food allergy entails a risk of adverse reactions, including anaphylaxis. This safety concern is the major barrier for OIT to become a therapeutic option in clinical practice. The high heterogeneity in safety reporting of OIT studies prevents setting the safety profile accurately. An international consensus is needed to facilitate the analysis of large pooled clinical data with homogeneous safety reporting, that together with integrated omics, and patients/families' opinions, may help stratify the patients' risk and needs, and help developing safe(r) individualized care pathways. This will give OIT the right place in the food allergy therapy.

In order to elucidate novel actions of degalactosylated whey protein (D-WP) in comparison with intact whey protein (WP), the effects of oral intake of D-WP on peripheral blood telomere length and telomerase were examined in young and aged mice. In young mice, peripheral blood telomere length was significantly elongated following oral intake of D-WP for 4 weeks. mRNA expression of both telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) and telomerase RNA component (TERC) was significantly increased in the peripheral blood following oral intake of D-WP for 4 weeks.

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is an aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. Neutrophil infiltration has been associated with unfavorable outcomes in OSCC, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear.
Methods: This study integrated single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq) with bulk RNA-seq data to analyze neutrophil infiltration patterns in OSCC and identify key gene modules using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (hdWGCNA).
Background: Remission is the desired outcome following OIT as it allows individuals to discontinue treatment and eat the allergen freely. Early initiation of OIT in infants and toddlers has been embraced as an approach to increase the likelihood of remission. However, there is no high-quality evidence supporting younger age as an independent factor driving remission; available studies are limited by small samples of younger subjects and lack of adjustment for confounding covariates, particularly peanut-specific IgE (sIgE) levels which is closely correlated with age.

To construct a recombinant strain expressing SpaA and CbpB of for oral administration, we constructed the recombinant plasmid pDG1730-CBJA by fusion PCR and seamless cloning. The plasmid was introduced into . KC strain by natural transformation, and the recombinant strain KC-- was screened out on the plate containing spectinomycin () and confirmed by PCR and starch degradation test.

The aim of this study was to compare the immune responses of C57BL/6 mice immunized with two pathogens, foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) and Senecavirus A (SVA), and to provide clues for revealing the regulatory mechanisms of acquired immunity. Inactivated and purified FMDV and SVA antigens were used to immunize C57BL/6 mice respectively, and the mice immunized with PBS were taken as the control. The percentages of Th1 and Th2 cells in the spleen lymphocytes of mice in each group were analyzed by flow cytometry at 14 and 28 days after immunization.
