Using Global Initiative for Asthma guidelines to assess asthma severity in populations
TL;DR: This is the first attempt to assess the severity of asthma in a large population of asthmatics mostly taking treatment, based on the Global Initiative for Asthma guidelines, and proposes this simple and pragmatic procedure for a potential classification which should be put to the test in other studies.

Frequent exacerbators – A distinct phenotype of severe asthma
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated risk factors for frequent exacerbations (defined as either ≥2 or ≥3 events/year) and identified factors associated with a higher risk of exacerbations.

Dendritic cells and the control of immunity
TL;DR: Once a neglected cell type, dendritic cells can now be readily obtained in sufficient quantities to allow molecular and cell biological analysis and the realization that these cells are a powerful tool for manipulating the immune system is realized.
