Decades of scientific and clinical research has helped understand the highly complex underpinnings of AE presentation wherein a multitude of variables, including the conspicuous variables such as environmental allergens, immunological triggers, genetic predisposition of individuals, to more nuanced socio-economic status, play an important part. Given the complexity of the disease, it is imperative to develop biomarkers enabling early and reliable clinical identifications and help in the active management of the disease, thereby minimizing the impact and burden of the disease on the patients. In this mini review, we provide a brief overview of AE, affected demographics, variables that trigger its onset, and summarize the discovery of various clinical biomarkers such as total and specific serum IgE levels, Th2 cytokine levels, filaggrin (FLG) mutations, periostin levels in skin, etc. that have been developed over the years to further improve the state of clinical monitoring of AE presentation and progression. Lastly, we also provide an overview of the clinical interventions and therapies, such as topical agents, phototherapy, and biologics, that are available to the patients to manage AE-related complications. While we have vastly improved the standard of care and diagnosis for the AE patients, there are still many unmet needs such as developing non-invasive, effective, and reliable clinical predictors and biomarkers which can usher better personalized treatments and provide a better quality of life to affected demographics.</p>","PeriodicalId":73062,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in allergy","volume":"6 ","pages":"1569292"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12003377/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144059899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
