Grant Activity:
Simultaneously targeting airway contraction and fibrosis as a new therapeutic strategy for asthma
Purpose:
Current asthma treatment does not always overcome breathing difficulties during an asthma attack and does not target long-term structural changes such as fibrosis that making the airways stiffer and harder to relax. We propose that serelaxin – a synthetic form of a natural hormone – could treat both excessive airway contraction and fibrosis. By showing its dual actions overcome the limitations of current therapies, we will be able to progress this new treatment towards clinical use for asthma.
