Journal ArticleDOI
Increased activation of p38 MAPK in COPD
Teresa Renda,Simonetta Baraldo,G. Pelaia,Erica Bazzan,Graziella Turato,Alberto Papi,Piero Maestrelli,Rosario Maselli,Alessandro Vatrella,Lm Fabbri,Renzo Zuin,Sa Marsico,Marina Saetta +12 more
TL;DR: The present findings suggest that the phosphorylated, active form of p38 MAPK (phospho-p38) may be a suitable pharmacological target for therapeutic intervention in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential of biologics for the treatment of asthma
TL;DR: The variability among patients' individual therapeutic responses highlights that it will be necessary to characterize the different asthma subtypes so that phenotype-targeted treatments based on the use of biologics can be implemented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular mechanisms underlying eosinophilic and neutrophilic airway inflammation in asthma.
Girolamo Pelaia,Alessandro Vatrella,Maria Teresa Busceti,Luca Gallelli,Cecilia Calabrese,Rosa Terracciano,Rosario Maselli +6 more
TL;DR: The recent advances in the knowledge of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying asthmatic inflammation are contributing to the identification of novel therapeutic targets, potentially suitable for the implementation of future improvements in antiasthma pharmacologic treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate Change and Air Pollution: Effects on Respiratory Allergy
Gennaro D'Amato,Ruby Pawankar,Carolina Vitale,Maurizia Lanza,Antonio Molino,Anna Agnese Stanziola,Alessandro Sanduzzi,Alessandro Vatrella,Maria D'Amato +8 more
TL;DR: It is not easy to evaluate the impact of climate changes and air pollution on the prevalence of asthma in the general population and on the timing of asthma exacerbations, although the global rise in asthma prevalence and severity could also be an effect of air pollution and climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thunderstorm-related asthma: what happens and why
G. D'Amato,Carolina Vitale,M D'Amato,Lorenzo Cecchi,Gennaro Liccardi,Antonio Molino,Alessandro Vatrella,Alessandro Sanduzzi,Cara Nichole Maesano,Isabella Annesi-Maesano +9 more
TL;DR: All subjects affected by pollen allergy should be alerted to the danger of being outdoors during a thunderstorm in the pollen season, as such events may be an important cause of severe exacerbations and thus minimize thunderstorm‐related events.
