Researchers have potentially identified a treatment for the rare lung disease LAM, found in women of childbearing age. By targeting a newly discovered dysregulated pathway, two existing drugs might effectively treat and possibly cure LAM.may have identified a potential treatment for lymphangioleiomyomatosis , a rare lung condition resembling cancer found predominantly in women of reproductive age.
“We identified a novel pathway that is dysregulated in LAM,” Olatoke says. “We found two drugs that target this pathway. We are examining both of those drugs to see how we can use them to reduce the progression of LAM.” Olatoke says one of the more satisfying aspects of this research is working with LAM patients, and notes that June is Worldwide LAM Awareness Month.
“Another rewarding part, especially with this paper, was working with multiple investigators across different institutions,” she says. “The paper is a brainchild of multiple talented investigators across UC, [Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center] and Texas Tech — a beautiful testament to how collaboration positively drives science.”
