Journal ArticleDOI

Defective epithelial barrier function in asthma.

TL;DR: The results show that the bronchial epithelial barrier in asthma is compromised, which may facilitate the passage of allergens and other agents into the airway tissue, leading to immune activation and may thus contribute to the end organ expression of asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of inhaled IFN-β on worsening of asthma symptoms caused by viral infections. A randomized trial.

TL;DR: It is suggested that inhaled IFN-β is a potential treatment for virus-induced deteriorations of asthma in difficult-to-treat people with asthma and supports the need for further, adequately powered, trials in this population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sputum and bronchial submucosal IL-13 expression in asthma and eosinophilic bronchitis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether IL-13 expression is increased in asthma compared with eosinophilic bronchitis, and they found that the median number of cells expressing IL13 + cells/mm 2 submucosa was significantly higher in patients with mild asthma than in normal controls.
