The Hidden Role of Cells in Asthma Inflammation

Asthma is a widespread respiratory condition that affects people of all ages. It is marked by inflammation that leads to airway problems. The main treatment involves inhaled corticosteroids, but these have their limits. To find better treatments, scientists are looking into the tiny details of how asthma works at the cellular level. In a recent study, researchers cr...

Asthma Unmasked: The Power of Single-Cell RNA Sequencing

Asthma is a tricky condition that affects millions worldwide. It involves inflammation and narrowing of the airways, making breathing difficult. Scientists have been working hard to understand what causes asthma and how it works. One powerful tool they use is called single-cell RNA sequencing, or scRNA-seq for short. This method lets researchers look at individual ce...
