*For decades, asthma treatment has focused on molecules called leukotrienes. These compounds cause inflammation, tighten airways, and make breathing harder. Drugs like Singulair were created to block ...

Skeletal muscles produce prostaglandins and leukotrienes that control multiple steps of myogenesis, and are critical for skeletal muscle development, growth and repair Prostaglandins and leukotrienes ...

Leukotriene-receptor antagonists were just as effective as inhaled glucocorticoids as first-line controller and add-on asthma therapy in a diverse primary care patient population, results from two ...

Asthma is a respiratory disease that affects millions of people worldwide. It causes inflammation of the bronchi, making breathing difficult. American researchers have recently discovered a new type ...

The mechanisms responsible for the formation of arterial aneurysms remain mysterious. Key features include extensive inflammation of the adventitia, the outermost layer of arteries, and dilation of ...

CLEVELAND—For decades, scientists have thought they understood the biochemical machinery that causes asthma—inflammation in the lungs that constricts airways and makes it hard to breathe. Molecules ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new pathway behind life-threatening food allergies. Instead of histamine, a different chemical called leukotrienes drives severe reactions in the gut. These ...
