Default Much of the current research into gluten sensitivity and celiac--

--since it is now established that this is a much more common entity than originally supposed, though still suffereing from some pooh-poohing about "trendiness" among many physicians, has been directed towards finding some more sensitive and accurate serological markers of celiac, such as looking for deamidated antibodies. There is also a lot of interest now in epidemiological surveys to explain what seems to be a rising incidence over the last half-century (many suspect genetic modification of gluten containing grains), and, of course, the pharmaceutical people are working on drugs to attempt to block the absorption or effect of gluten proteins in the intestine.

I still think The Gluten File is the best place to see ongoing articles, as it is updated frequently (although now JCC notes updates often wind up on Facebook first):

Another thing one can do is set one's e-mail program to cull news alerts with such words as "celiac" and "gluten" in them. While this does bring in a lot of celebrity stuff, it also pulls in reports of studies and one can then follow these to their sources.

For instance, here's a conference in Chicago at which I'm sure a lot will be shared:

Or, one can always search through PubMed:
