Asthma is a Redox Problem: The Mitochondria–Inflammation Loop (and What Methylene Blue Did in Mice)
Most people think of asthma as tight airways and allergies. This Deep Dive reframes it as something deeper: inflammation + oxidative stress + mitochondrial bioenergetics. Using a revised research manuscript on an ovalbumin-induced allergic asthma mouse model, we walk through how methylene blue (MB) impacted the biology; not “curing asthma,” but attenuating airway inflammation and oxidative stress markers.
We break down the model, the endpoints (BALF inflammatory cell influx, histopathology, oxidative stress markers), what the revisions added (randomization, sample size clarity, blinded…
