| Abstract |
House dust mite (HDM) allergens are the most prevalent allergens associated with asthma and rhinitis around the world. The mechanisms of allergic sensitization and allergic airway inflammation after exposure to HDM have been studied extensively, but many questions remain unanswered. Airway epithelial cells are the first line of defense against external antigens and are considered an important player in the development of allergic airway inflammation. Both genetic susceptibility to allergic sensitization and HDM composition play decisive roles in the outcome of HDM-epithelium interactions, especially regarding airway epithelial dysfunction and allergic inflammation. Interactions between HDM and the airway epithelium have consequences for both development of allergy and asthma and development of allergic airway inflammation. This review will describe in detail these interactions and will identify issues that require more study. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 November 2023.
All research outputs
#5,330,639
of 25,008,338 outputs
Outputs from Current Allergy and Asthma Reports
#223
of 854 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#42,529
of 203,705 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Allergy and Asthma Reports
#7
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,008,338 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 854 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 203,705 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
