Weezer Pleaser
A team of Oxford scientists and doctors have discovered a gene that causes asthma.
The scientists have spent the last six years working on this breakthrough. Professor William Cookson, who worked on the project, stated that "Finding this gene adds a new dimension to understanding asthma and allergic diseases, but the understanding is still incomplete." And he warned that "The challenge of translating genetic findings into new treatments is, however, not trivial and will not be accomplished overnight."
