There was a few good ones in the November 2012 Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. Two with Dr. WOod as co-author.

I know this really belongs in "allergy news and reserach" but wanted more visibility for the story:

Mechanism found for destruction of key allergy-inducing complexes, Stanford researchers say

STANFORD, Calif. — Researchers have learned how a man-made molecule destroys complexes that induce allergic responses — a discovery that could lead to the development of highly potent, rapidly acting interventions for a host of acute allergic reactions.

The study, which will be published online Oct. 28 in Nature, was led by scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the University of Bern, Switzerland.

The new inhibitor disarms IgE antibodies, pivotal players in acute allergies, by detaching the antibody from its partner in crime, a molecule called FcR. (Other mechanisms lead to slower-developing allergic reactions.)
