REGULATION OF NITRIC OXIDE IN AIRWAY DISEASE [ 2000 - 2002 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Paul Thomas (Principal investigator)

Brief description It has recently become apparent that we all make a substance in the lungs called nitric oxide. The amount that we make is increased in diseases such as allergic asthma. This project will study the connection between the allergen being inhaled and the excess nitric oxide being made by cells in the lung. From this research we will have a better understanding of the processess involved and develop better therapies for asthma.
