Abstract:
Understanding the mechanisms associated with the onset and the progression of food allergy is essential to define effective disease prevention strategies and innovative treatment strategies. During the entire lifespan, environmental influences have an impact on the human immune response, which also includes food adverse reaction. The seminar will highlight factors with a specific impact on food allergy such as microbiota, nutrition and medication.
