Novel molecular signaling pathway found to play a crucial role in maintaining the skin barrier

Our skin–the body’s largest organ–provides the first line of defense against infections and many other threats to our health. Decades of research has shown that a wide range of diseases can occur, or become worse, when the skin cannot form an effective barrier. Now, experts in human genetics and asthma research at Cincinnati Children’s report […]

Adverse public health effects of air pollution on global population

What are the public health impacts of air pollution? Exposure to high levels of air pollution can cause various health outcomes. Therefore, the short-;and long-term public health consequences of air pollution exposure should be carefully assessed, in particular the impacts of fine particles which penetrate deep into the lung passageways and pose a significant threat […]

Access to urban vegetation can mitigate asthma risk for children, study finds

In a recent study published in the European Respiratory Journal, researchers investigated how urban vegetation and exposure to pollen are linked to the incidence of childhood asthma. Their results indicate that these factors interact complexly. Tree canopy areas appear to protect children against asthma, but exposure to pollen can negate these benefits. Study: Early life exposure […]

Key exercises for asthmatic people help improve their lung function, finds study

Yoga and breathing control practices, in combination with aerobic training, are particularly key exercises for asthmatic people seeking to improve their lung function, a new peer-reviewed study suggests. The research which is published today in the journal Annals of Medicine highlights the importance of integrating appropriate exercise training into asthma management plans. The findings demonstrate […]
