SYN-53, a multi-strain probiotic food supplement, was recently shown to significantly alleviate allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (ARC) and its symptoms. The diversity and dosage of bacterial strains administered via SYN-53 have been proposed as key drivers of its efficacy. The aim of this study was to assess the role of bacterial diversity and dosage by comparing SYN-53 to a low dose variant (SYN-53-LD), a low diversity variant (SYN-4), and a placebo in the management of ARC.

Prediction and Characterization of Genetically-Regulated Expression of Asthma Tissues from African-Ancestry Populations.

J Allergy Clin Immunol

September 2025

Department of Biomedical Informatics, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora, CO, USA; Department of Epidemiology, Colorado School of Public Health, Aurora, CO, USA. Electronic address:

Background: Genetic control of gene expression in asthma-related tissues is not well-characterized, particularly for African-ancestry populations, limiting advancement in our understanding of the increased prevalence and severity of asthma in those populations.

Objective: To create novel transcriptome prediction models for asthma tissues (nasal epithelium and CD4+ T cells) and apply them in transcriptome-wide association study to discover candidate asthma genes.

Methods: We developed and validated gene expression prediction databases for unstimulated CD4+ T cells and nasal epithelium using an elastic net framework.

Baseline characteristics of patients from the Brazilian Severe Asthma Registry: the REBRAG study.

J Bras Pneumol

. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Médicas, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Florianópolis (SC) Brasil.

Objective: To describe the impact of severe asthma in a real-life cohort in Brazil, reporting on baseline clinical characteristics, access to treatment, and clinical remission under treatment with biologics.

Methods: Severe asthma patients > 6 years of age were recruited from 23 centers in Brazil. Data on clinical characteristics, lung function, biomarkers, prescribed therapies, and clinical remission under treatment were collected at the baseline visit.

Background: Tree nut/Peanut (TN/PN) allergies are among the most common pediatric food allergies, often persisting into later life and posing significant clinical risks. The likelihood of tolerance acquisition varies, and predictive factors remain inadequately defined in clinical practice.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and laboratory features associated with anaphylaxis risk and tolerance development in pediatric patients with TN/PN allergy, and to determine the role of aeroallergen sensitization, comorbid atopic diseases, and skin test reactivity.

Oral immunotherapy in children with allergic diseases: past, present and future.

Minerva Pediatr (Torino)

September 2025

Pediatric Respiratory Unit, Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, San Marco Hospital, University of Catania, Catania, Italy.

Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is the only treatment capable of modifying the natural history of allergic diseases by promoting immune tolerance. Initially developed for respiratory allergies, AIT has expanded to include food allergies, particularly through oral immunotherapy (OIT). This review explores the historical evolution, current applications, and future directions of AIT in pediatric patients.
