Scientists finds cause of allergic asthma: A German Study

Discovery improves understanding of the cause of allergic asthma and may serve as an early diagnostic marker. When the mucosal surfaces in the lungs of healthy people come into contact with allergenic substances, so-called regulatory T cells also known as Treg cells, are activated. These are capable of actively preventing the development of allergies.....

Newly identified gene may increase inflammation in asthmatics

In a breakthrough discovery, Australian scientists have revealed that a gene named PAG1 is more likely to increase inflammation in people suffering from asthma.
Dr Manuel Ferreira from QIMR Berghofer's Asthma Genetics laboratory said, that in a large genetic study they had identified a previously unknown genetic variant which increased the risk of asthma and allergies by about 20%, but since it wasn't immediately obvious which gene that variant impacted, they designed a series of molecular experiments to identify that target gene.....
