Many people have difficulty breathing because the airway tubes that move air in and out of their lungs are blocked by excessive amounts of sticky mucus. Our project will use new techniques developed in our laboratories to investigate whether a group of medicines called “macrolides” can prevent the excessive production and release of mucus in the airways, and thus be beneficial in treating asthma, and potentially other lung diseases.

许多人呼吸困难是因为使空气进出肺部的气道被过量的粘稠粘液堵塞。我们的项目将使用我们实验室开发的新技术来研究一组称为“大环内酯”的药物是否可以防止气道中粘液的过度产生和释放，从而有益于治疗哮喘和其他肺部疾病。
