Asthma is a significant health and economic burden to our society and its prevalence has increased over the last 25 years. New ways of treating asthma are urgently required as current therapeutics treat the symptoms and not the cause of the disease. Asthma is widely thought to be due to the abnormal accumulation of white blood cells (inflammation) in the lungs of diseased individuals. In this project we are exploring new advanced ways to inhibit inflammation and the development of disease.

哮喘对我们的社会来说是一个重大的健康和经济负担，其患病率在过去25年中有所增加。治疗哮喘的新方法是迫切需要的，因为目前的疗法治疗症状，而不是疾病的原因。哮喘被广泛认为是由于白色血细胞（炎症）在患病个体肺部的异常积累。在这个项目中，我们正在探索新的先进方法来抑制炎症和疾病的发展。
