Lung images of twins with asthma add to understanding of the disease.

Two lung imaging studies from Western University, including one performed in non-identical twin patients with life-long asthma, have shown that airway defects in the lungs of asthmatic patients are like thumbprints – they have a unique pattern and maintain that pattern over time.

These studies deepen our understanding of asthma and also open up opportunities for personalized therapies that can target specific areas of the lungs.
