Allergy Research on Diagnosing Allergies
Some allergy research studies are seeking better ways to diagnose, as well as treat, people with allergic diseases and to better understand the factors that regulate IgE production to reduce the allergic response. Several allergy research institutions are focusing on ways to influence the cells that participate in the allergic response.
Allergy Research on Genes
Although several factors provoke allergic responses, allergy research scientists know that heredity plays a major role in determining who will develop an allergy. Therefore, scientists are trying to identify and describe the genes that make a person susceptible to allergic diseases.
Because allergy research scientists are becoming increasingly aware of the role of environmental factors in
allergies, they are evaluating ways to control environmental exposures to allergens and pollutants to prevent allergic disease.
These allergy research studies offer the promise of improving the treatment and control of allergic diseases and the hope that one day allergic diseases will be preventable.
