Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious viral disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It has various effects on asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and urticaria and may change the course of the disease depending on the severity of the infection and control status of the disease. Conversely, these diseases may also impact the course of COVID-19. Patients with chronic urticaria and atopic dermatitis may have COVID-19–induced disease exacerbations and biological treatments reduce the risk of exacerbations.

Mashup Score: 0Tbx1 orchestrates an immune niche that safeguards a broken heart - 1 year(s) ago
Cardiac lymphatics cooperate with the reparative immune response in myocardial healing after infarction. In this issue of Immunity, Wang and colleagues discover a mechanism underlying this cooperation, dependent on the transcription factor Tbx1 and responsible for the creation of an immunosuppressive niche that mitigates autoimmunity.

Antibiotic allergies are frequently encountered in clinical practice, and delabeling of these allergies has individual and public health benefits. This review focuses on the evidence supporting graded challenges without preceding skin testing in adult and pediatric patients to the major groups of antibiotics including penicillins, cephalosporins, sulfamethoxazole, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, macrolides, metronidazole, carbapenems, and aztreonam. The cost savings, time savings, and evidence for performing graded challenges outside of an allergy/immunology office are also reviewed for graded challenges to penicillins.

Mashup Score: 2Releasing the brake: CTLA-4 loss turbocharges CAR TÂ cells - 1 year(s) ago
Immune checkpoint receptor-induced T cell dysfunction is a major cause of CAR T cell treatment failure. In this issue, Agarwal et al. report that CRISPR/Cas9 deletion of CTLA4, but not PDCD1 or CTLA4 and PDCD1, enhances CD28 signaling, restoring fitness and antitumor function of CAR T cells, including those derived from patients who failed CAR T cell therapy.

Generating potent neutralizing antibodies is a unifying goal of next-generation vaccines. In this issue of Immunity, Ols et al. show that multivalent nanoparticle vaccines displaying RSV F protein can enable recruitment of more diverse B cell specificities into the vaccine response, resulting in increased potency and breadth of antibody immunity to both RSV and the related human metapneumovirus.

Mashup Score: 0Dietary Inflammatory Index and Clinical Outcome Measures in Adults With Moderate-to-Severe Asthma - 1 year(s) ago
Diet is increasingly recognized as a modifiable factor in lung health, predominantly due to the immunomodulatory effects of nutrients. The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) is a score developed to express the inflammatory potential of a diet.

Mashup Score: 0Asthma control questionnaires - 1 year(s) ago
Accurate assessment of asthma control requires understanding of 2 domains: symptom control and risk of adverse outcomes. Asthma control questionnaires have been developed as a means of identifying patients with poorly controlled asthma, to optimize asthma care. These questionnaires assess symptom control and sometimes risk and can serve as a springboard for discussion among patients and physicians. The Asthma Control Test (ACT) is a clinically validated measure of asthma control that has been used for nearly 20 years, in both clinical and research settings.
