 Eosinophilic esophagitis linked to chromosome 5 and TSLP gene

A genome-wide association study has led to the discovery of the first major gene site responsible for the severe food allergy eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) , a disorder that features the accumulation of eosinophils in the esophagus. The investigators found that EoE, which has been increasing over the past 20 years, is linked to a region of chromosome 5 that includes the TSLP gene, which encodes a hematopoietic cytokine called t hymic s tromal l ympho p oietin (TSLP). They also discovered that the TSLP gene exhibits increased activity in esophageal biopsies from children with EoE.



 Stroke (Paralysis) – Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment

Stroke is a medical emergency which results when the blood supply to a part of the brain is cut off or greatly reduced. An ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke, occurring about 80 – 85 % of the time, and is due to a blood vessel in the brain getting blocked because of cholesterol deposits called atherosclerosis, or because of blood clots called emboli. A hemorrhagic stroke, resulting from a ruptured blood vessel in the brain, while not so commonly seen, is definitely more serious
