Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Seong-Ok Jang"
- Seong-Ok Jang's research primarily focuses on the role of probiotics, specifically Lactobacillus rhamnosus, in asthma prevention, examining their immunoregulatory effects and underlying mechanisms in murine models of asthma.
- Jang has also investigated genetic factors influencing drug response and asthma susceptibility in children, particularly looking at the association of IL-13 polymorphisms with leukotriene receptor antagonist responsiveness and its interaction with other cytokine gene polymorphisms.
- A significant aspect of his research includes the relationship between eosinophilic inflammation and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in asthmatic children, underscoring the importance of eosinophils in respiratory pathologies related to asthma.
