Tulane study identifies novel treatment for eosinophilic esophagitis

A new study led by Dr. Anil Mishra, director of the Eosinophilic Disorder Center at TUSOM, has identified a novel treatment for a chronic immune system disease that can prevent children from eating.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is triggered by food allergies or airborne allergens which causes a type of white blood cell, eosinophils, to build up in the lining of the esophagus. The study identified one existing drug, VX-765, as an inhibitor that may work as a treatment for humans.

The new study is published in Nature Communications Biology. Read more here.
