Chinese researchers discover receptor shape change associated with allergies, leading to potential new allergy medications.

Chinese researchers have found that changes in the shape of an immune receptor significantly contribute to allergic reactions. This discovery could lead to new allergy medications by developing a "molecular glue" to keep the receptor in its inactive state, potentially preventing conditions like allergic rhinitis, asthma, and food allergies. The study, published in Nature, highlights a new direction for allergy treatment and addresses a major public health issue affecting millions.
