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.

Supplement to: Oral glucocorticoid-sparing effect of mepolizumab in eosinophilic asthma.

TL;DR: In patients requiring daily oral glucocorticoid therapy to maintain asthma control, mepolizumab had a significant glucoc Corticoid-sparing effect, reduced exacerbations, and improved control of asthma symptoms.

Cellular and molecular mechanisms of allergic asthma

TL;DR: In this article , a review outlines the mechanisms responsible for the orchestration of type 2 inflammation and summarizes the novel findings, including but not limited to dysregulated epithelial barrier integrity, alarmin release and innate lymphoid cell stimulation.

Meeting the Challenge of Identifying New Treatments for Type 2-Low Neutrophilic Asthma.

TL;DR: Since neutrophils play a key role in host defense, rigorous consideration will need to be given to titrating the reduction in mediators that promote neutrophilic airway inflammation from pathologically elevated levels to concentrations that are typically found in the healthy lung so that patients can retain normal host defense and immune surveillance functions.

Calcio-herbal formulation, Divya-Swasari-Ras, alleviates chronic inflammation and suppresses airway remodelling in mouse model of allergic asthma by modulating pro-inflammatory cytokine response

TL;DR: In this article, the potential anti-inflammatory, anti-asthmatic and immunomodulatory therapeutic properties of calcio-herbal ayurvedic formulation, Divya-Swasari-Ras (DSR) in-vivo, using mouse model of ovalbumin (OVA) induced allergic asthma.

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.
