美国缅因州消息:遗传学家报告说,科学家们首次鉴定出两种基因,这两种基因在引起常导致哮喘的一种特殊呼吸道疾病中发挥了重要作用。迄今,这种关键性基因只在小鼠体内得到鉴定,而不是在人体内。但巴尔的摩约翰斯·霍普金斯大学麻醉和病危护理副教授Roy CLevitt说,对科学家来说,这足以开始更详细地了解小鼠(还可能包 Maine, USA - Geneticists report that for the first time scientists have identified two genes that play an important role in causing a particular respiratory disease that often leads to asthma. To date, this key gene has been identified only in mice, not in humans. But Roy Sclevitt, an associate professor of anesthesia and critical care at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, says for scientists this is enough to start getting to know mice in more detail
