Although a bit on the technical side for some readers, the article is very informative about one of the suspected causes of asthma. The details are traceable (which I like to see in case I want to go and find more information for myself later) and I think we'll be hearing more about this research in the future. Very interesting.
Interesting article, a little technical. I am always on guard when the media grabs onto some research study, promising new therapeutics when in truth, it could be a long ways away, especially in gene therapy. Current studies in genomics seem to indicate that genes point to probabilities rather than a definite manifestation of a condition or illness, which is great if there are preventative measures for the condition. I think an article like this serves the purpose of funding further studies into a subject. It will be great to follow along with this research as it develops.
