- The study found a positive association between the level of TARC and the severity of eczema.
- The strips were analysed for immune biomarkers and babies were followed up for the next 2 years.
- This provides a window of opportunity to develop targeted trials and prevent cases of eczema from occurring", concluded Dr Anne-Sofie Halling.
