AAAAI Podcast: Conversations from the World of Allergy

In this episode Amanda Cox, MD, FAAAAI, walks us through component-resolved diagnostics, why it’s important, and how it helps distinguish primary food allergy from pollen sensitization. We will talk about where it fits alongside the history, skin testing and oral food challenge as we make decisions about our food allergy patients.

Innate lymphoid cells or ILCs respond rapidly to help defend mucosal barriers, maintain tissue homeostasis and shape the adaptive immune response that follows. In this episode, Taylor A. Doherty, MD, FAAAAI, will discuss the importance of ILCs and what we know about these uniquely positioned cells in allergic disease.

Eosinophilia has a broad differential and determining how to most effectively evaluate it can be challenging. In this episode, we’ll work through a clinical case with Paneez Khoury, MD, MHSc, FAAAAI, and discuss how understanding eosinophil biology can guide our evaluation and management.

Gene editing has moved from the laboratory to the clinic and is likely to transform treatment for our patients with inborn errors of immunity. In this episode, Caroline Kuo, MD, explains genome editing technologies and how these tools may enable precise, potentially curative therapies.

The LEAP trial fundamentally changed our understanding of immune tolerance, demonstrating that early oral exposure can dramatically reduce the risk of developing peanut allergy. In this episode, Edwin Kim, MD, FAAAAI, will help us explore the immunologic mechanisms of early food introduction and tolerance development and what the evidence tells us about other food allergies.
