Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects over 7.1 million children under 18 years in the United States. While asthma-causing allergens like fungi, mites, and insects represent biologically diverse organisms, they have some biological similarities that may underlie their potential to cause asthma. One of these shared biological features is the production of environmental proinflammatory microbial associated molecular patterns (MAMP). Studies have shown that MAMPs impact lung function and asthma despite not considered allergens. Recent studies have shown that chitin, along with endotoxin and beta-glucan, activate the innate immune system by triggering an allergic response in organisms that are exposed to them. After successfully ...
