Skin damage signals mediate allergic sensitization to spatially unlinked antigen Skin injury releases damage-encoded systemic signals that can initiate immunity to novel antigens introduced at distal barrier sites.

New research from FASI PI Dr. Andrew Wang shows that skin inflammation can send danger signals that prime the immune system—triggering allergic reactions later in the gut.

The nervous and immune systems talk—and decide if food is friend or foe.

Getting this moment wrong triggers allergies.

Understanding it could help stop reactions before they start.
