The Cytokines of Asthma

Reads0

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.

Fungal Aeroallergens—The Impact of Climate Change

TL;DR: In this paper , the role of fungi as causative agents in the development of various overreactivity-related diseases, mainly affecting the respiratory tract, is reviewed, and the basic information on the mechanisms of allergic reactions is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

[The impact of specialized management on allergic asthma outcomes].

TL;DR: In this paper , a retrospective study including allergic asthmatic adults conducted between 1/01/2016 and 31/12/2018 was conducted to characterize allergic asthma in patients followed at the Nancy University Hospital.

Integrated Mechanisms of Polarity–Based Extracts of Cucumis melo L. Seed Kernels for Airway Smooth Muscle Relaxation via Key Signaling Pathways Based on WGCNA, In Vivo, and In Vitro Analyses

TL;DR: In this paper , the mechanisms responsible for calcium-mediated smooth muscle contraction in C. melo seeds were determined with the aid of Liquid Chromatography Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometric (LC/ESI-MS/MS) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Journal ArticleDOI

Lung dopaminergic nerves facilitate the establishment of TH2 resident memory cells in early life

TL;DR: In this article , the authors identify nerve-derived signals that act in TH2 effector cells to regulate the tissue residency in the immature lung following early life allergen exposure and demonstrate that maturing sympathetic nerves enable a dopamine-enriched lung environment in early life that promotes the establishment of TH2-TRMs.

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.
