Abstract

Asthma is one of the most common diseases of the respiratory system, with typical pathogenesis and pathological changes. The current research shows that autophagy is mainly involved in the pathogenesis of asthma by regulating the body's innate and adaptive immune responses. At the same time, a large number of epidemiological studies have shown that multiple autophagy genes affect the risk of asthma at the level of genetic polymorphism. This chapter will explore the relationship between autophagy and asthma.

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.
