Interleukin-13: Targeting an underestimated cytokine in atopic dermatitis.

abstract：:Mast cell activation (MCA) occurs in a number of different clinical conditions, including IgE-dependent allergies, other inflammatory reactions, and mastocytosis. MCA-related symptoms may be mild, moderate, severe, or even life-threatening. The severity of MCA depends on a number of different factors, including geneti...

abstract：:Because humans breathe through the nose, the nasal mucosa becomes sensitized to inhalant allergens. Allergic rhinitis is, together with allergic conjunctivitis, the best example of a type I hypersensitivity reaction. It is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa induced by specific immune recognition of exogenous allergen...
