TLDR
Recent advances in the development of first-generation eosinophil-targeted therapies are described and strategies for using personalized medicine to treat eOSinophilic disorders are highlighted.
Abstract
Eosinophils can regulate local immune and inflammatory responses, and their accumulation in the blood and tissue is associated with several inflammatory and infectious diseases. Thus, therapies that target eosinophils may help control diverse diseases, including atopic disorders such as asthma and allergy, as well as diseases that are not primarily associated with eosinophils, such as autoimmunity and malignancy. Eosinophil-targeted therapeutic agents that are aimed at blocking specific steps involved in eosinophil development, migration and activation have recently entered clinical testing and have produced encouraging results and insights into the role of eosinophils. In this Review, we describe recent advances in the development of first-generation eosinophil-targeted therapies and highlight strategies for using personalized medicine to treat eosinophilic disorders.

Severe eosinophilic asthma treated with mepolizumab stratified by baseline eosinophil thresholds: a secondary analysis of the DREAM and MENSA studies.

TL;DR: An analysis of data from two randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies of at least 32 weeks duration has shown a close relationship between baseline blood eosinophil count and clinical efficacy of mepolizumab in patients with severe eOSinophilic asthma and a history of exacerbations.

Crosstalk between Adipocytes and Immune Cells in Adipose Tissue Inflammation and Metabolic Dysregulation in Obesity

TL;DR: The roles of natural killer T cells, one type of innate lymphocyte, in adipose tissue inflammation and metabolic dysregulation in obesity will be discussed and a new role of adipocytes as antigen presenting cells to modulate T cell activity and subsequent adipose tissues inflammation will be proposed.

Aeroplysinin-1, a Sponge-Derived Multi-Targeted Bioactive Marine Drug.

TL;DR: In preclinical studies, (+)-aeroplysinin-1 has been shown to have promising anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor effects and might have a pharmaceutical interest for the treatment of different pathologies.

The pilot study.

TL;DR: A randomized controlled experiment is designed to test whether access to affordable day care (in the form of subsidies, for example) would incentivize Saudi mothers to search actively for employment and to remain employed once they are hired.

TGF-beta signal transduction.

TL;DR: The transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) family of growth factors control the development and homeostasis of most tissues in metazoan organisms and mutations in these pathways are the cause of various forms of human cancer and developmental disorders.

Notch Signaling: Cell Fate Control and Signal Integration in Development

TL;DR: Notch signaling defines an evolutionarily ancient cell interaction mechanism, which plays a fundamental role in metazoan development, providing a general developmental tool to influence organ formation and morphogenesis.

Human epithelial cells trigger dendritic cell–mediated allergic inflammation by producing TSLP

TL;DR: It is shown that human thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) potently activated CD11c+ dendritic cells (DCs) and induced production of the TH2-attracting chemokines TARC (thymus and activation-regulated chemokine) and MDC (macrophage-derivedChemokine; CCL22).
