Description

Nikaein and co-authors test in 2023 whether the cell wall of a probiotic yeast can blunt the allergen power of a common mold in lung cells. Interest in probiotics for airway allergy is growing. They challenged mold spores with yeast wall extract at varied doses.

The extract cut the mold's enzyme activity at higher doses and lowered expression of its main allergen gene at all doses tested. Lung cells exposed to mold plus extract were also checked for two inflammatory signal genes. The work suggests yeast wall parts may soften mold driven airway inflammation, a lead for allergy aid research.
