Coeliac disease researchers Dr Jason Tye-Din and Dr Melinda Hardy from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research have found that children with coeliac disease react against the same key toxic proteins in gluten that cause the disease in adults. The findings suggest new treatments and diagnostic tests in development for adults with coeliac disease will also be applicable for children with the condition.
