Abstract
Allergic diseases are acute and chronic inflammatory conditions resulting from disproportionate responses to environmental stimuli. Affecting approximately 40% of the global population, these diseases significantly contribute to morbidity and increasing health care costs. Allergic reactions are triggered by pollen, house dust mites, animal dander, mold, food antigens, venoms, toxins, and drugs. This review explores the pivotal role of the epithelium in the skin, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract in regulating the allergic response and delves into the mechanisms of tissue-specific epithelial-immune interactions in this context, with recent advances highlighting their roles in the initiation, elicitation, and resolution phases of allergy. Understanding these intricate interactions at epithelial barriers is essential for developing targeted therapies to manage and treat allergic diseases.
