FIRST POST! Fungi drive asthma, but does this require germination? We show A. fumigatus spores activate DCs after 3hrs of swelling, promoting airway allergy. Antifungal itraconazole limits swelling & reduces allergic inflammation. Check it out: doi.org/10.1016/j.ja... @drpetercook.bsky.social 👩‍🔬

Airways, inflamed on left after 4hr spores and less inflamed on right with 4hr spores and itraconazole treatment.

First 🦋 post (great to join everyone here) about our paper that's been published in JACI: www.jacionline.org/article/S009... Check it out if you have ever wondered how fungal spore growth controls how dendritic cells (clearly THE best immune cell) trigger inflammation that causes asthma...
