Balancing the Immune Response to Tame Allergic Reactions

Food allergies are a serious concern for some but this study shows there is hope for optimism

Scientists at Duke Health were able to reprogram the immune system of mice by using nanoparticles to deliver molecules to the lymph nodes that kept the mice from experiencing symptoms from exposure.
