	Allergies show a small but significant link to later cancer risk A systematic review and meta-analysis of 28 cohort-based studies found a weak but statistically significant association between allergic diseases and later cancer incidence. The signal was strongest in the Western Pacific region and among people with asthma, but high heterogeneity and limited subgroup evidence mean the findings require caution.

	McMaster researchers uncover why statins cause painful muscle side effects Millions of people rely on statins - a medication used to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

			Engineered immune cells suppress asthma symptoms in allergic mice Genetically engineered CAR T cells expressing artificial receptor proteins are increasingly used in the clinic to boost the immune system's response against leukemias and other cancers.

			Researchers identify a distinct subtype of eosinophilic esophagitis in children Researchers from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago identified a distinct subtype of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) – a chronic allergic inflammatory disorder in which the esophagus narrows, interfering with food going down properly.

			Antihistamines show modest benefits for long Covid fatigue treatment Over-the-counter antihistamines and a prescription anti-inflammatory drug both have a small benefit in reducing long Covid fatigue among people receiving care from specialist long Covid clinics, according to new findings from a large clinical trial led by UCL and UCLH.

	Scientists Identify Biological Link Between Low Birth Weight and Chronic Disease Researchers have long sought to discover why babies who weigh less than expected at birth, a condition known as small for gestational age, or SGA, are at higher risk for heart, lung and metabolic diseases as adults.

	Study: Genetically Engineered CAR T Cells Suppress the Immune System’s Response to Allergen Genetically engineered CAR T cells expressing artificial receptor proteins are increasingly used in the clinic to boost the immune system's response against leukemias and other cancers.

	Umbilical cord proteins may explain lifelong health effects of low birth weight Researchers have long sought to discover why babies who weigh less than expected at birth, a condition known as small for gestational age, or SGA, are at higher risk for heart, lung and metabolic diseases as adults.

	New Mount Sinai center focuses on advancing personalized treatments for peanut allergy Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have been awarded a five-year, $7.2 million grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to establish a new Asthma and Allergic Diseases Cooperative Research Center focused on advancing personalized treatment strategies for peanut allergy.
