Mechanism Behind Hyperresponsiveness During Asthma Discovered by Karishma Abhishek on March 14, 2021 at 7:08 AM breathing difficulty, coughing, a whistling sound (wheezing), and shortness of breath.
Asthma also allows the airways to become hyperresponsive (overreactive) to various types of stimuli, such as cold air, physical exertion, and chemicals. A new mechanism that contributes to, and explains, airway hyperresponsiveness is found by the researchers from Uppsala University, published in the scientific journal Allergy.
Asthma is said to impact 300 million people globally. The global asthma treatment market size stood at over $18 billion US in 2019. It is commonly diagnosed using a methacholine test that helps determine whether a person is showing signs of airway hyperresponsiveness.

Carbon leakage: prevent firms from avoiding emissions rules
The Parliament is discussing a carbon levy on imported goods to stop companies moving outside the EU to avoid emissions standards, a practice known as carbon leakage.
As European industry struggles to recover from the Covid-19 crisis and the economic pressure due to cheap imports from trading partners, the EU is trying to honour its climate commitments, whilst keeping jobs and production chains at home.
An EU carbon levy to prevent carbon leakage
EU efforts to reduce its carbon footprint under the European Green Deal and become sustainably resilient and climate neutral by 2050, could be undermined by less climate-ambitious countries. To mitigate this, the EU will propose a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which would apply a carbon levy on imports of certain goods from outside the EU. MEPs will put forward proposals during March s first plenary session.
