The “Atopic March” occurs when individuals with one atopic disorder are more likely to develop other allergies. The connection between #AtopicDermatitis and #FoodAllergy is reviewed here: mucosalimmunology.org/article/S1933-…

What if we could map every cell in the body, revealing its location and molecular identity? In this @NatureMethods perspective, we discuss the new era of 3D-omics by tissue clearing and AI, called Deep 3D Histology: rdcu.be/dNBe8 PDF: bit.ly/3WaD0QU 🧵👇🏼
