Researchers Just Discovered A Revolutionary Way Of Treating Asthma
Researchers at Southampton University have identified how a rogue gene responsible for the respiratory disease can be controlled to help prevent early development of the condition.
The gene makes an enzyme that attaches to the muscles in the airways. But the enzyme can become detached and “go rogue”, sparking unnecessary production in the lungs of muscles and blood vessels – known as airway remodelling – making breathing difficult when coupled with an allergen such as pollen or dust. Studies in human tissue samples and mice show that if the gene is switched off, the enzyme isn’t a problem.....
