Everything About Allergy

A previously unknown cellular switch that triggers asthmatic attacks has been discovered, and is opening a new avenue of understanding for the way it works. This discovery is going to add more treatment options that allows symptomatic treatment preventing the trigger from activating thus halting the attack as needed. many other diseases of the lungs and airways can also benefit from the research that is going back to the molecular level at how these attacks are triggered. There is a mechanism that triggers the human body to react that is normal for our immune system, but with an asthmatic attack, the body seems to be over-reacting resulting in the gasping reaction as the body seems to be trying to rid itself of the irritant.
The trigger occurs in cells known as mast cells that were derived from human stem cells from human umbilical chords that when exposed to certain toxins died and triggered the over-reaction by the body. The human body has a very complex immune response system that can be compared to a computer anti-virus that scans the body, looks for cellular signatures that are unidentified, attacks obtaining genetic information on the invader then sending that acquired information to the body’s immune system to make cells that are genetically capable to deal with these invaders.
