Asthma can be cured in 5 years: scientists have found the triggers that cause it
Scientists from Cardiff University нашли potential underlying cause of asthma: a calcium-sensitive receptors CaSR forced air passages to shrink when exposed to certain stimuli.

Bronchial asthma - a chronic disease of the airways, it is manifested in the form of wheezing, shortness of breath, cough. From 4% to 10% of the world population have this disease. Until now, completely cure him not learned - people use drugs to get rid of the symptoms, such as inhalers. Thus the patient is only a manifestation of asthma control, but can not completely get rid of it.
Studies in mice and humans with asthma and without it enabled scientists to identify a potential cause of asthma - are the triggers receptors CaSR. So they found that the condition can be treated with "kaltsitikov" - a group of drugs for patients with osteoporosis. According to Professor Diniely Ricciardi, drugs can stop the progression of the disease.
Scientists hope to find a way to eliminate the disease within five years.
