OTUD6A in Airway Epithelial Cells Exacerbates Allergic Asthma by Promoting Airway Inflammation and Airway Remodeling Through Deubiquitination of hResistin/mRELMα [PDF]
Asthma is a prevalent chronic airway disorder characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), persistent airway inflammation, and airway remodeling.

The Endogenous Th17 Response in NO
Severe, glucocorticoid-resistant asthma comprises 5-7% of patients with asthma. IL-17 is a biomarker of severe asthma, and the adoptive transfer of Th17 cells in mice is sufficient to induce glucocorticoid-resistant allergic airway disease.

Mucosal cryobiopsies: a new method for studying airway pathology in asthma
Background In vivo studies of airway pathology in obstructive lung disease are limited by poor quality of specimens obtained with forceps. Obtainment of cryobiopsies has increased diagnostic yield in cancer and interstitial lung disease but has not been ...

Chloride channels regulate differentiation and barrier functions of the mammalian airway. [PDF]
The conducting airway forms a protective mucosal barrier and is the primary target of airway disorders. The molecular events required for the formation and function of the airway mucosal barrier, as well as the mechanisms by which barrier dysfunction ...

Airway epithelial STAT3 inhibits allergic inflammation via upregulation of stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1
Background: Airway epithelial cells (AECs) play a crucial role in the induction and development of allergic inflammation through the development and activation of immune cells, including Th2 cells and ILC2s.

Cholesterol-sensing liver X receptors stimulate Th2-driven allergic eosinophilic asthma in mice [PDF]
Introduction: Liver X receptors (LXRs) are nuclear receptors that function as cholesterol sensors and regulate cholesterol homeostasis. High cholesterol has been recognized as a risk factor in asthma; however, the mechanism of this linkage is not known.

Airway Inflammation and Airway Hyperresponsiveness [PDF]
Airway inflammation is a complex inflammatory process of airways involving the contribution of various cells, recruited and activated in asthmatic conditions, and the mediators released by them. However, major components contributing to this inflammation are eosinophils, mast cells, and lymphocytes.
