Why do targeted biologics (like TSLP blockade) work in asthma but fail in atopic dermatitis? We dive into the complexity of Type 2 inflammation and tissue micro environments beyond linear cytokine models. https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/immunology/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2026.1872479/abstract04 Aug 2026 10:29 +0000at://did:plc:noyvu46fotd7jihft2fpmgqb/app.bsky.feed.post/3msasl2ix222qhttps://bsky.app/profile/arielmunitz.bsky.social/post/3momu4lwbjs2i1/5 Our latest study in @allergy-eaaci.bsky.social addresses the rising prevalence of Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Diseases (EGIDs). While esophageal phenotypes are well-documented, rare non-esophageal variants present distinct therapeutic challenges. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/all.7042019 Jun 2026 07:48 +0000at://did:plc:noyvu46fotd7jihft2fpmgqb/app.bsky.feed.post/3momu4lwbjs2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/arielmunitz.bsky.social/post/3mnyzibrqt22iJust finished presenting at the #EMBRN2026 as part of the joint session with the @eosinophilsoc.bsky.social .

We show that despite co-upregulation/expression of IL-33 and TSLP in EoE, TSLP has a dominant role. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.25.640192v103 Mar 2025 01:24 +0000at://did:plc:noyvu46fotd7jihft2fpmgqb/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljgs44qn322ghttps://bsky.app/profile/arielmunitz.bsky.social/post/3lffbfplrhc2hOver the past few years, emerging data suggest that type 2 immune responses can have protective roles in cancer.
