Biology and treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis.

13 Aug 2009 Eosinophilic esophagitis is a recently recognized but expanding disorder characterized by antigen-driven eosinophil accumulation in the esophagus. Symptoms frequently mimic those of gastroesophageal reflux disease, but the diseases are distinct in ... Read more...

Jagged1 on dendritic cells and Notch on CD4+ T cells initiate lung allergic responsiveness by inducing IL-4 production.

8 Aug 2009 Jagged1, a Notch ligand, and Notch have been implicated in Th2 differentiation, but their role in initiating IL-4 production and Th2 differentiation in vivo and the development of allergic airway responses has not been defined. In this study, we ... Read more...

Eosinophil-associated gastrointestinal disorders with asthma: immunohistochemical analyses.

Aug 2009 We report 5 patients with eosinophil-associated gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) and asthma. All patients developed EGIDs while asthma remained clinically stable. Asthma severity was moderate persistent and severe persistent and 2 patients had ... Read more...
