and neurodegenerative disorders, including depression, anxiety, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, AIDS dementia complex, asphyxia in newborns and epilepsy.
#New approach may lead to inhalable vaccines for influenza pneumonia The work led by Cathy Fromen
#New cellular pathway triggering allergic asthma response identified Researchers at the University of California, San diego School of medicine,
with collaborators in Korea and Scotland, have identified a novel signaling pathway critical to the immune response of cells associated with the initiation of allergic asthma.
the scientists demonstrated that T helper 2 (Th2) type inflammation in allergic asthma involves dendritic cells (DC), a type of white blood cell,
which shares many similarities with human asthma. Conversely, increasing camp levels inhibited the cells'inflammatory response that results in asthma's characteristic symptoms."
"These findings and the related mechanism are very different from the current residing view of activation of specific T helper cell responses,
Allergic asthma is triggered by inhaled allergens, such as pet dander, pollen, mold and dust mites. It is characterized by inflammation
The common form of allergic asthma is associated with an exaggerated Th2 immune response. Allergic asthma affects people of all ages, most often appearing in childhood.
More than 25 million Americans suffer from the condition.""This research will open a new field of exploration of DC-related molecules as mediators that influence Th2 induction
"Raz noted that the genetic mouse model developed for the research shares multiple similarities with human allergic asthma,
In the most severe cases, bacterial poisoning causes severe disease and syndromes like sepsis, meningitis, pneumonia,
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a respiratory disease? affecting about 8, 000 people in Spain? in which scars are formed in lung tissue that make it rigid, leading to breathing difficulties.
for instance, a pollution sensor to keep tabs on asthma, or just a simple phone with basic capabilities.
These children, ages 5 and younger, die from preventable diseases such as pneumonia, dehydration, diarrhea, and systemic infections that could be treated with antibiotics.
