New insight into the onset, progression, and treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE)
We provided adequate data to support the crucial role of IL-18 in the development of EoE and showed the pretreatment with NLRP3 and caspase-1 inhibitors such as MCC950, BHB, and VX-765 protects against both food allergen- and aeroallergen-induced EoE pathogenesis in an EoE experimental model.
