New research brings hope of a new treatment for asthma patients resistant to corticosteroids. In a study published, researchers report that a type of lymphocytes called natural helper (NH) cells plays a critical role in corticosteroid resistance and demonstrate that the anti-psychotic drug Pimozide can be used to overcome resistance to steroids in severe asthma patients.
