TLDR
The cytokine networks driving asthma are reviewed, placing these in cellular context and incorporating insights from cytokine-targeting therapies in the clinic, to argue that the development of new and improved therapeutics will require understanding the diverse mechanisms underlying the spectrum of asthma pathologies.

The Metabolic Requirements of Th2 Cell Differentiation

TL;DR: The metabolic requirements of Th2 cells during their early and late differentiation are discussed, focusing on the impact of glucose and lipid metabolism, mTOR activation, the nuclear receptor PPAR-γ and several metabolites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct functions of tissue-resident and circulating memory Th2 cells in allergic airway disease.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that tissue-resident and circulating memory Th2 cells are functionally and transcriptionally distinct subsets with unique roles in promoting allergic airway disease.

Treatment options in type-2 low asthma

TL;DR: The heterogeneity and clinical characteristics of type-2 low asthma are described and current knowledge on the underlying pathobiological mechanisms are summarized, which includes neutrophilic airway inflammation often associated with smoking, obesity and occupational exposures and may be driven by persistent bacterial infections and by activation of a recently described IL-6 pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adrenergic regulation of immune cell function and inflammation.

TL;DR: This review will highlight recent advances in understanding of how the sympathetic nervous system regulates both innate and adaptive immune functions and how this regulation is linked to circadian rhythms.

Predominant TH2-like bronchoalveolar T-lymphocyte population in atopic asthma

TL;DR: Atopic asthma is associated with activation in the bronchi of the interleukin-3, 4, and 5 and GM-CSF gene cluster, a pattern compatible with predominant activation of the TH2-like T-cell population.

Interleukin-13: Central Mediator of Allergic Asthma

TL;DR: In this paper, the type 2 cytokine IL-13, which shares a receptor component and signaling pathways with IL-4, was found to be necessary and sufficient for the expression of allergic asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eosinophilic inflammation in asthma.

TL;DR: Eosinophilic inflammation of the airways is correlated with the severity of asthma and these cells are likely to play a part in the epithelial damage seen in this disease.
