Sex Differences in IL-33-Induced STAT6-Dependent Type 2 Airway Inflammation
In this study, we have demonstrated that delivery of OVA+IL-33 to the lungs of mice induced an innate inflammatory response that exhibited sex-dependent differences in magnitude and regulation. Compared to males, female mice produced larger amounts of type 2 cytokines and chemokines and had substantially more activated eosinophils and AAM in the lung; each of these responses was significantly lower in female mice lacking STAT6. On the contrary, male mice displayed less inflammation overall, and in some instances, no apparent role for STAT6 was observed. BALF levels of inflammatory mediators and eosinophils were very lo...

People Are Now Taking Placebo Pills to Deal With Their Health Problems —And It’s Working
For over 20 years, Linda Buonanno lived in fear that her irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) would suddenly interrupt her daily routine with frequent trips to the bathroom and unbearable cramping. Buonanno, now a 71-year-old medical assistant and hairdresser from Methuen, Mass., tried everything from drugs to dairy-free diets. Nothing worked. She remembers a particularly tough period over 10 years ago, when she was working on the factory floor of a medical-device company for up to 10 hours a day, six days a week. When an IBS episode would strike, her co-workers would cover for her as she huddled in a corner, keeled over in pain...
