Our research using cutting-edge technology has demonstrated that not all asthma attacks are the same. There are two major subtypes of asthma attacks. Currently, we use the same medication to treat all asthma attacks, and this medication targets the symptoms rather than the cause. This research will conduct detailed laboratory studies to understand what causes the two different types of asthma attacks, and test new treatments that are targeted and tailored to each type of asthma attack.

我们使用尖端技术的研究表明，并非所有的哮喘发作都是一样的。哮喘发作有两种主要亚型。目前，我们使用相同的药物来治疗所有哮喘发作，这种药物针对的是症状而不是病因。这项研究将进行详细的实验室研究，以了解导致两种不同类型哮喘发作的原因，并测试针对每种类型哮喘发作的新治疗方法。
