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.

Eosinophils: Cells known for over 140 years with broad and new functions.

TL;DR: The molecular mechanisms underlying the development of eosinophils and the various functions of granules, including CLCs, during eosInophilic inflammation are reviewed and the double-edged roles of eOSinophil in tissue repair and type 2 immune inflammation are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Real-Life effects of benralizumab on exacerbation number and lung hyperinflation in atopic patients with severe eosinophilic asthma.

TL;DR: The results suggest that via its anti-eosinophil actions benralizumab improved airflow limitation, lung hyperinflation, and respiratory symptoms, as well as lowered asthma exacerbation rate and abrogated OCS consumption in most patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resolution of allergic asthma

TL;DR: Novel insights are considered into the immunopathogenesis of asthma and the protective and pathogenic roles of some innate and adaptive immune cells as well as the function of soluble mediators such as cytokines.

Sesamol alleviates airway hyperresponsiveness and oxidative stress in asthmatic mice

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sesamol showed potential as a therapeutic agent for improving asthma by suppressing eosinophil infiltration in the lung, airway hyperresponsiveness, and T helper 2 cell-associated (Th2) cytokine expressions in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and the lungs.

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.
