New Treatments For Asthma

New Treatments For Asthma.
Researchers claim they've discovered why infants who complete in homes with a dog are less likely to develop asthma and allergies later in childhood. The yoke conducted experiments with mice and found that exposing them to dust from homes where dogs live triggered changes in the community of microbes that actual in the infant's gut and reduced immune system feedback to common allergens. The scientists also identified a specific species of gut bacteria that's critical in protecting the airways against allergens and viruses that cause respiratory infections, according to the study published online Dec 16, 2013 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

While these findings were made in mice, they're also favoured to untangle why children who are exposed to dogs from the time they're born are less able 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 deep-seated bacteria community (gut microbiome) can influence immune function elsewhere in the body, said study co-leader Susan Lynch, an fellow professor in the gastroenterology division at UCSF.

And "The results of our study indicate that this is likely to be one logical positivism through which the environment influences immune responses in early life," said Lynch in a UCSF front-page news release. "It is something we are currently examining using human samples in a large multi-institutional collaborative study". She said that it might be reasonable to use species of beneficial gut bacteria to remodel people's rifle microbiomes to prevent the development of allergies or asthma, and even treat existing cases.

So "Gut microbiome manipulation represents a cheering new therapeutic strategy to protect individuals against both pulmonary infection and allergic airway disease". Previously, the same digging team found that dust in homes with a dog that was allowed by nature and outside had more diverse types of bacteria and more species of bacteria that are found in people's gastrointestinal tracts. This isn't to contemplate that new parents should rush out to buy a dog. While the review found an association between the dogs and respiratory health in mice, it didn't establish a cause-and-effect relationship view website. And results of brute studies aren't always replicated in humans.
