Systems Biology of Allergic Sensitization to Olea europaea Pollen
Allergic diseases are reaching epidemic proportions worldwide, having a great cost to National Health Systems. The effectiveness of the current treatment is limited because it is unknown the therapeutic targets involved in allergic diseases. Therefore, it is mandatory the search of these targets, as well as new therapies. As genetics and environmental factors are involved in the development of these diseases, the research requires multidisciplinary approaches and a well-defined allergic population. We studied the sensitization to Olive threes (Olea europaea), whose prevalence is the highest in the south of Spain, using transcriptomics.
