Allergic Airway Inflammation [PDF]

, 2012
Allergic airway inflammation is one characteristic feature of asthma disease, with additional pathology including a reversible airway obstruction, airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), infiltration of eosinophils and T-helper type 2 (Th2) cells into the airway submucosa, mucus hypersecretion, and airway remodeling (Agrawal & Shao 2010).

Lung inflammation by fungus, Bjerkandera adusta isolated from Asian sand dust (ASD) aerosol and enhancement of ovalbumin-induced lung eosinophilia by ASD and the fungus in mice. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundBjerkandera adusta (B. adusta) is one of the most important etiological fungi associated with chronic cough. However, precise details of the inflammatory response to exposure are not well understood yet. B.

Assessing airway inflammation [PDF]

Thorax, 2010
In the first paragraph of most reviews we are reminded that ‘asthma is an inflammatory disease characterised by … ’. This perspective has been influenced by—and, in turn, has driven—a great deal of respiratory research over the last 20 years. In the clinical sphere, studies based on factor analysis inform us that airway inflammation is an independent ...

Manifesto on small airway involvement and management in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: an Interasma (Global Asthma Association - GAA) and World Allergy Organization (WAO) document endorsed by Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) and Global Allergy and Asthma European Network (GA2LEN) [PDF]

, 2016
Evidence that enables us to identify, assess, and access the small airways in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has led INTERASMA (Global Asthma Association) and WAO to take a position on the role of the small airways in these ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Anti-asthmatic miR-224-5p inhibits the FHL1/MAPK pathway to repress airway smooth muscle cell proliferation in a murine model of asthma-like airway inflammation

Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, 2022
Background The proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) contributes to the contractility and inflammation in the pathophysiology of asthma. This intrigued us to clarify the effect of microRNA (miR)-224-5p on biological characteristics of ASMCs
