Our research using cutting-edge technology has demonstrated that not all asthma attacks are the same. There are two major subtypes of asthma attacks. Currently, we use the same medication to treat all asthma attacks, and this medication targets the symptoms rather than the cause. This research will conduct detailed laboratory studies to understand what causes the two different types of asthma attacks, and test new treatments that are targeted and tailored to each type of asthma attack.

我们使用尖端技术的研究表明，并非所有哮喘攻击都是相同的。哮喘发作有两个主要的亚型。目前，我们使用相同的药物治疗所有哮喘攻击，这种药物针对症状而不是原因。这项研究将进行详细的实验室研究，以了解导致两种不同类型的哮喘发作的是什么，并测试针对每种类型的哮喘发作的针对性和量身定制的新疗法。
