Dr. Stephanie Eisenbarth found that the same molecules make the gut lining leaky—allowing more allergen into the bloodstream. That leakiness may be what pushes a reaction from uncomfortable… to life-threatening. Her team also showed Zileuton stopped this leak—and prevented anaphylaxis.

FASI Scientific Founder Dr. Ruslan Medzhitov discovered that special gut cells release leukotrienes—molecules that amplify allergic inflammation. Block those molecules, stop the cascade. When mice were treated with the asthma drug Zileuton, they were fully protected from food-induced anaphylaxis.

Why do some allergic reactions turn deadly—while others stay mild? Two new @science.org papers, funded by @FASI and led by our researchers, uncover the gut–immune connection that may hold the answer. 🧵👇 #FoodAllergy #Anaphylaxis #immunosky #GutHealth #allergysky #medsky #microbiomesky

New from FASI investigator Dr. Andrew Wang: T cells trained by the gut microbiome live in the brain and help keep it in balance—until the microbiome is disrupted. This gut-brain-immune link may be key to food allergy tolerance. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #Microbiomesky #allergysky #immunosky

Why do some allergic reactions turn deadly? Research from FASI PI Dr. Stephanie Eisenbarth identifies a rare immune cell—TFH13—that triggers high-affinity IgE production, a key driver of anaphylaxis. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31371561 #immunosky #allergysky #pedsky #medsky #foodallergies

FASI investigator, Dr. Robert Anthony discovered that IgE antibodies in people with peanut allergies carry extra sugar molecules—specifically sialic acid & removing that sugar greatly reduced allergic responses. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32499653 #allergysky #immunosky #pedsky #foodallergy
