WASHINGTON (AP) - Researchers have identified a molecule that plays a
key role in causing the symptoms of asthma, which could lead to new
treatments for the disorder that affects 15 million Americans.
Researchers experimenting independently with lab mice found a
reaction triggered by a molecule called interleukin-13, or IL13, was
a primary cause of inflammation, clogging and restricted air flow
that cause breathing problems in asthma attacks. Researchers treated
asthma-prone mice with a drug that blocks the action of IL13. When
the mice were exposed to an allergen, they developed no breathing
problems. Mice not treated had the inflammation and restricted
airways typical of asthma. See
