DNA treatment for asthma This week's wonder drug in development: immunostimulatory sequences of DNA.
The structural changes including airway scarring and inflammation that contribute to severe breathing problems associated with asthma were significantly reversed in mice treated with immunostimulatory sequences of DNA (ISS), a novel therapy developed by researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine.
Interesting, but the DNA part makes it sound like science fiction, which always makes me quesy about unintended consequences.
