Biased beta-agonists may provide better control of asthma and other obstructive lung diseases, drug discovery study shows

Beta-agonists (β-agonists) are the only drugs that directly open narrowed airways and make it easier to breathe for millions of people with asthma, a chronic respiratory disease. These inhaled medications activate the b₂-adrenergic receptors (β₂AR) on airway smooth muscle cells and relax them, dilating airways and increasing air flow.  Read full story!
