Onyinye Iweala<\/strong><\/a>, MD, PhD, assistant professor in the division of rheumatology, allergy and immunology, and Wesley Burks<\/strong>, MD, Dean of the School of Medicine and CEO of UNC Health, published a\u00a0review<\/a><\/strong> in Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology<\/i>\u00a0looking at how IgE-producing B cells in the gut expand the gut\u2019s role in food allergy.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore this study, it was believed that long-term allergic antibody responses were probably driven by IgE-producing B cells clustered in the bone marrow. But this didn\u2019t completely make sense for food allergies,\u201d Iweala said. \u201cWhen you eat something like peanuts, it goes to your gut, not your bone marrow. Identifying these IgE-producing B cells in the gut is a step forward in better understanding and treating food allergies, and possibly all allergies.\u201d<\/p>\n
