High levels of iron in the lung linked to increased asthma severity

Iron build-up in the lung cells and tissues is associated with worse asthma symptoms and lower lung function, according to new research. The researchers say that the study, which includes data from asthma patient samples and mouse models, is the first to definitively show a relationship between iron build-up in the lung cells and tissues and the severity of asthma.
