New treatments for asthma

New treatments for asthma.
Researchers answer they've discovered why infants who last in homes with a dog are less expected to develop asthma and allergies later in childhood. The line-up conducted experiments with mice and found that exposing them to dust from homes where dogs white-hot triggered changes in the community of microbes that lively in the infant's gut and reduced immune system retort to common allergens our site. The scientists also identified a specific species of deep-seated bacteria that's crucial in protecting the airways against allergens and viruses that cause respiratory infections, according to the burn the midnight oil published online Dec 16, 2013 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

While these findings were made in mice, they're also odds-on to delineate why children who are exposed to dogs from the set they're born are less like as not to have allergies and asthma, the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and University of Michigan researchers said. These results also suggest that changes in the eviscerate bacteria community (gut microbiome) can alter unaffected function elsewhere in the body, said study co-leader Susan Lynch, an fellow professor in the gastroenterology division at UCSF.
