Mounting scientific evidence points to a link between environmental exposures and allergic diseases, as explained by the #epithelialbarriertheory. The clinical study THREAT, an acronym for Testing Harms Related to Exposure to Allergenic Toxins, compares the health impact of typical real-world indoor exposures to that of a controlled, healthier setting, such as free of toxic substances, reduced consumption of processed foods and purified air. Patient data will be collected on skin impedance, microbiome, cytokine profiles, and pulmonary function, among others.

Exciting Phase 2 SWIFT trial presented by Silvio Danese! Once-daily oral emvistegrast, a gut-specific α4β7 integrin inhibitor, showed highly significant efficacy in UC at Week 12. Great to see this targeted pathway translating into an effective oral therapy! #IBD #UEGWeek @my_ueg

Bacterial pathogens aren't always deadly invaders. Some can harmlessly colonize the human body for months or years -- until a switch flips. The biological triggers for this change are unclear.
Proud to be part of the team investigating this important problem!
