Successful interdisciplinary cooperation between microbiology and allergology – from field research to cutting edge molecular biology
Pollen has a specific microbiome for every plant species! The number and severity of diseases based on pollen allergies is constantly increasing. Scientists now assume that plants’ own defence mechanisms against environmental factors, such as exhaust fumes or adverse microbial overload, bear a significant share of the allergenicity of pollen and pollen-associated compounds. It is […]
