📈 Is it possible to predict whether children with atopic dermatitis will develop asthma or other allergic diseases?

Researchers in our division are exploring how biology and environment shape the atopic march.

For the 16th year in a row, we’ve earned a spot on the Best Children’s Hospitals Honor Roll by U.S. News & World Report! We’re proud to be ranked #1 in the nation for: Pediatric Cancer Care, Gastroenterology & GI Surgery and Diabetes & Endocrinology.

Critical New Finding: EoE in the atopic march

Key findings from MPAACH:
• AD in early life = risk factor for EoE
• All kids w/ EoE had ≥1 other allergic comorbidity

⚠️Clinical awareness & screening for EoE in allergic kids is crucial.

🚨 New Review Alert! 🚨

We describe a novel asthma endotype: the Frequent Exacerbator (FE).

Our review explores:
• FE’s molecular signatures
• How it differs from other asthma endotypes
• Clinical implications

May is #AsthmaAwarenessMonth! Our Clinical Research team is recruiting children and teens ages 6 to 17 with asthma to join a medication study. Approved participants receive payment. Details: www.cincinnatichildrens.org/service/c/clinical-trials/studies/asthma-panda-071122

New clinical review highlights how mold and moisture in homes can increase asthma risk in children. For more details on how indoor and outdoor fungal allergens affect respiratory health, check out our new article: authors.elsevier.com/c/1kyg-7tEbb...

We are thrilled that one of our Research Assistants, Matt Schuetz, has earned the Webster-Gustin Medical Scholarship! 🥳🎉 After obtaining his bachelor's degree at Ohio State, Matt joined the Khurana Hershey Lab, where he’s been studying the protein structure and binding interactions of CARD14.

So proud of our team for representing our division at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology Conference last month! They brought back valuable insights and ideas, despite the tempting San Diego weather. ☀️🧪
