Examples include the research that started with an Asthma UK-funded project on IL-10 and glucocorticoid responsiveness in asthma which was outlined on Asthma UK’s web site as follows: ‘A series of Asthma UK funded projects led by Professor Catherine Hawrylowicz in Professor Lee’s department has attracted particular interest, as the work has resulted in a clinical trial to explore whether vitamin D can improve the effectiveness of steroid treatments for asthma in those who are normally resistant to their benefits’ [19]. The gene discussed is IL10; the disease is asthma.
