More than 30 genes that have strong effects on Immunoglobulin E, allergies and asthma have been discovered, reports an international team of scientists. The researchers also found that the genes are concentrated in eosinophils, a white cell that ignites inflammation...
The protein Mucin 5AC plays a critical role in airway hyperreactivity, a characteristic feature of asthma that makes it difficult to breathe, researchers have found. In experiments with mice, the scientists found that genetic removal of Muc5ac eliminated airway...
Scientists have discovered over 30 new genes that predispose people to allergies and asthma, some of which could be targets for new drugs. Asthma affects one child in 10 in the UK, and allergies may affect one third of the population. The new findings could lead to...
Researchers have found that a psychedelic drug, (R)-DOI, prevents the development of allergic asthma in a mouse model. The effects are potent and effective at a concentration 50-100 times less than would influence behavior.
It’s the hottest topic among allergy experts. It’s showing up more and doctors don’t yet know why. Allergy specialists are seeing more people with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), an inflammatory response in the esophagus that makes it hard to swallow...
