People with asthma are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, a study has found, while type 2 diabetics are also twice as likely to develop asthma. The mechanisms that link the two conditions “remain ...

Among adolescents with asthma and overweight or obesity, the relative risk for acute asthma exacerbations was significantly reduced with GLP-1 receptor agonist use vs. nonpharmacological weight ...

CLEVELAND--Many therapeutics for asthma and other obstructive lung diseases target the β 2-adrenergic receptor (β 2 AR), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that rapidly supports airway relaxation ...

In asthma, the airways become hyperresponsive. Researchers from Uppsala University have found a new mechanism that contributes to, and explains, airway hyperresponsiveness. The results are published ...

Adolescents with overweight or obesity and asthma taking a GLP-1 agent had less risk of asthma exacerbations compared with ...
