Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of an inhaled corticosteroid on airway inflammation and symptoms in asthma.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the beneficial effect of inhaled corticosteroids in asthma may be attributed to their antiinflammatory action in the bronchial mucosa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Treatment with Anti-immunoglobulin E Antibody Omalizumab on Airway Inflammation in Allergic Asthma

TL;DR: The lack of effect of omalizumab on methacholine responsiveness suggests that IgE or eosinophils may not be causally linked to airway hyperresponsiveness to Methacholine in mild to moderate asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alveolar Tissue Inflammation in Asthma

TL;DR: It is suggested that eosinophils and macrophages accumulate to a greater extent in the alveolar tissue and these changes contribute more to the variation in lung function compared with inflammation in the more proximal tissue.
Journal Article

Immunolocalization of cytokines in the nasal mucosa of normal and perennial rhinitic subjects. The mast cell as a source of IL-4, IL-5, and IL-6 in human allergic mucosal inflammation.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that the mast cell is an important source of preformed cytokines and as such may contribute to the chronicity of the mucosal inflammation that characterizes allergic rhinitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions in the pathogenesis of asthma.

TL;DR: It is proposed that impaired epithelial repair cooperates with the TH2 environment to shift the set point for communication within the trophic unit and leads to myofibroblast activation, excessive matrix deposition, and production of mediators that propagate and amplify the remodeling responses throughout the airway wall.
