The pathway to asthma winds through toll-like receptor 4
HOUSTON – (Aug. 15, 2013) – Dr. David Corry compares the allergic response to a computer.

In a report that appears online in the journal Science, he and colleagues at BCM describe an important component of that chip – a molecule called toll-like receptor 4 that plays a key role in prompting the innate or immediate response that drives allergic disease and asthma......

To find it this is really the case, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine did a ‘crossover’ study in over 2,000 patients, aged from three to 64.....
