«We've known for a long time that PM2.5 [fine particulate matter] exposure is a trigger; now there's emerging evidence that exposure can be associated
with development of asthma, too,» said Dr. Rachel Miller, an asthma researcher at Columbia University Medical Center.
In the current report, researchers found associations between the abundance of certain types of bacteria in the house dust and an asthma diagnosis by age 7 years, suggesting that exposure to certain types of bacteria in early life might
influence development of asthma.
It's not a dangerous virus in itself, but it can lead to ear infections, bronchiolitis (infection of the small airways, called bronchioles), pneumonia, or
later development of asthma or other respiratory problems.
To date, the present study is the largest to investigate the association between levels of long - chain omega - 3 and omega - 6 fatty acids in the blood and
subsequent development of asthma and other allergic diseases.
Although findings are mixed regarding associations between breastfeeding and
the development of asthma and atopic disease in childhood (4, 5), exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life has multiple known benefits and remains the recommendation of ACOG for all women who do not have physical or medical conditions that prohibit breastfeeding (6).

In fact, delaying solid foods might be linked with
the development of asthma, hay fever, eczema or food allergies.
Our data suggest that exposure to STAT6 - IP has the potential to modulate long - term responses to allergens and microbial antigens implicated in
the development of asthma,» said Brian J. Ward, M.D., a researcher involved in the work and associate professor from McGill University Health Centre, Research Institute in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
This breakthrough discovery is a major step forward towards
the development of an asthma vaccine.
«Protein linked to
development of asthma.»
Now, researchers have identified a mechanism in mice that may explain the role of exposure to microbes in
the development of asthma and ulcerative colitis, a common form of inflammatory bowel disease.
More research is needed to identify the factors that may impact on
the development of asthma through bed - sharing.»
These cells instruct others, known as «Th2 cells», to drive the cascade of inflammation in the lungs that leads to
the development of asthma.
The survey drew from interviews with parents of more than 92,000 children aged 0 to 17 years to explore the relationship between ACEs, such as witnessing domestic violence, and
the development of asthma.
Both obesity and asthma are serious public health problems at historically high levels in the U.S., the authors note, and many researchers have associated obesity with
the development of asthma and with an increased risk for asthma exacerbations.
The AsthmaMap is the first integration of the known processes involved in
the development of asthma based on a consensus view of asthma.
A new digital «map» detailing different mechanisms that contribute to
the development of asthma could help researchers redefine the disease.
Asthma is a type I allergic disease, and IgE has an important role in
the development of asthma (19).
Two particular areas of interest are the roles of viruses and air pollution in
the development of asthma attacks.
The compound targets the product of a gene deCODE has shown to play an important role in
the development of asthma.
The trial, conducted by deCODE under a research collaboration and licensing agreement with Cephalon, was based upon deCODE's discovery of variants in the gene encoding the MAP3K9 kinase as risk factors for
the development of asthma.
The development of asthma may take different paths depending on the effects of a variety of specific genetic variants operating in different genetic backgrounds, according to Burchard.
Research Focus: In a pilot study, I focused on epigenetic mechanisms that modulate the expression of genes implicated in susceptibility and
development of asthma, as well as the role of these genes for the function of human T cells.
High IgE levels are a key clinical measure of an aggravated immune sensitivity to certain particles in the environment — the basis of atopy (allergies) and an important predisposing factor to
the development of asthma.
In 2012 he moved to La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology under Michael Croft supervision and handled a project focused in the innate immune cells of the lung and
development of asthma in collaboration with JanssenTM.

development of asthma.

deCODE has isolated a gene which plays an important role in
the development of asthma.
The researchers» ultimate goal is to identify precisely what triggers the so - called farm effect, as this would make it possible to develop active strategies to inhibit
the development of asthma.

The results provide more evidence that environmental factors, such as diet, can influence
the development of asthma, which has increased dramatically in recent years in westernized countries where high - fat diets are common.
Vitamin D also plays a role in the immune system, which may have implications in
the development of asthma, wheezing, allergic rhinitis and type 1 diabetes.
