Missing Gut Protein May Pave Way for Peanut Allergy

Original: Before the First Bite: A Missing Gut Protein May Set the Stage for Peanut Allergy

Researchers at UNC Health report that a protein missing from the gut lining may help explain why some people develop peanut allergies. The finding suggests the protein normally helps the intestine tolerate food proteins, and that its absence could allow allergic sensitization before a child's first exposure to peanuts.

Why now: New research linking gut biology to food allergy risk offers potential directions for prevention and treatment.
