MMP-10 as a new biomarker for Type 2 inflammation in asthma? Surely promising. Please have a look at our recent Allergy paper! @jochwenk.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Genetically Determined Inflammation‐Related Proteins in Asthma and Type‐2 Signatures

This study investigates the association between genetic variation and inflammation-related plasma proteins, and the differences in the proteins genetically determined between subjects with type-2 ...

Study of young adults reveals #genetics strongly shape blood inflammation proteins; specifically, higher genetic risk for MMP-10 levels is tightly linked to type-2 inflammation, especially in those with #asthma.

One in ten asthma cases can be avoided with a better urban environment

The combination of air pollution, dense urban development and limited green spaces increases the risk of asthma in both children and adults. This is shown by a new study conducted as part of a major E...

What's new? Trajectory analyses show that among children with wheeze, higher BMI decreased the likelihood of lung function improvement. Interventions to normalise bodyweight might help to preserve lung function and reduce morbidity in later life.

Première!
I'll start with this recent BAMSE paper from @karolinskainst.bsky.social where we show that individuals with a persistently high BMI from birth to young adulthood already have elevated levels of cardiometabolic risk markers. Cardiometabolic intervention? Start early.
