To edit or not to edit: Changes in microRNAs are associated with asthma severity

Written by
Dr Kevin Magnaye researched changes in airway cells in people with asthma, discovering that editing microRNAs has an impact on inflammation and immune responses that could lead to severe asthma

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways. While many people respond to inhaled medications, this treatment is not effective for everyone. Understanding more about the molecular pathways that promote severe asthma may provide opportunity for new therapeutic approaches. Dr Kevin M Magnaye, while a graduate student with Professor Carole Ober at the University of Chicago, explored changes in […]
