Encapsulating allergens in nanoparticles was found to reprogram the immune system, suppressing severe reactions to food allergies.

A collaboration between bioengineers and immunologists is hinting at the possibility for long term relief from food allergies. Using encapsulating nanoparticles, they were able to present small doses of allergens to the immune systems of mice, which induced a change in the immune cells responsible for allergies and even prevented severe allergic reactions.
