Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Allergic diseases are one of the many faces of immune system dysfunction. They are inextricably linked to the development of civilization and affect an ever-increasing number of people. Although the mechanisms regulating the development of allergies seem fairly well understood, we still encounter certain unclear and surprising elements. Diagnostics of allergic diseases have been developing dynamically in recent years. We know more and more about allergens, their nature, factors, and the impact of the environment that determines their immunogenicity. However, we still do not have perfect diagnostic tools to effectively diagnose every type of allergy. Also, therapy of allergic diseases, although it has developed dynamically in recent years, still requires searching for new, more effective solutions. In this Special Issue, we want to focus on research into the mechanisms of allergic reactions, expanding knowledge about allergens and their relationships with the immune system, the impact of the changing environment on the dynamics of allergic diseases, and searching for new biomarkers of allergic diseases and new technologies for diagnosing and treating allergies, including the possibility of using immune regulation in the prevention and treatment of allergies. We hope that new research in these areas will help to highlight the problem of allergic diseases, resulting in new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
