Hydrogen sulfide, a gas produced naturally within our bodies, reduces the severity of respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, a new study shows for the first time. When someone has a RSV infection, his or her body is less able to produce the protective hydrogen sulfide....
For the first time, scientists have identified the potential root cause of asthma and an existing drug that offers a new treatment. The team used mouse models of asthma and human airway tissue from asthmatic and non-asthmatic people to reach their findings.
Researchers have identified a biological basis for asthmatic children who do not respond well to corticosteroid treatment — currently the most effective treatment for chronic asthma and acute asthma attack. The study also identifies a genetic pathway that could...
Researchers analyzed asthma-related tweets, along with data from air quality sensors, to successfully predict how many asthma sufferers would visit the emergency room on a given day. “We realized that asthma is one of the biggest traffic generators in the...
By determining the structure of a common respiratory bacterium’s toxin, researchers have taken a step toward development of drugs and vaccines for reactive airway diseases. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is spread by sneezing, coughing, talking and touching hands to the...
