Lipid Metabolism and Obesity in Early Life: Drivers of Chronic Lung Disease From Development to Adulthood

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 7, 15 April 2026.
Metabolic and nutritional stressors are a growing global health concern. This review discusses how obesity, lipids, and lipid derivatives influence lung development, homeostasis, and chronic lung disease progression, highlighting roles of alveolar surfactant and sphingolipids.

A real – life observational pilot study to evaluate the effects of two-week treatment with montelukast in patients with chronic cough [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: Different conditions make the proximal airways susceptible to tussigenic stimuli in the chronic cough (CC) syndrome. Leukotrienes can be implicated in the inflammatory mechanism at play in it.

Acepromazine Reduces Airway Contraction in a Murine Model of Asthma

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Acepromazine (ACP) is one of the most used sedatives in veterinary medicine, and its cardiovascular effects are well documented. In contrast, its effects on the respiratory system remain less well understood, particularly in the context of assessment of respiratory mechanics in murine models of asthma, where its use has become more common in ...

Airway smooth muscle as an immunomodulatory cell. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Although pivotal in regulating bronchomotor tone in asthma, airway smooth muscle (ASM) also modulates airway inflammation in asthma. ASM myocytes secrete or express a wide array of immunomodulatory mediators in response to extracellular stimuli, and in ...

Maternal exposure to combustion generated PM inhibits pulmonary Th1 maturation and concomitantly enhances postnatal asthma development in offspring [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies suggest that maternal exposure to environmental hazards, such as particulate matter, is associated with increased incidence of asthma in childhood. We hypothesized that maternal exposure to combustion derived ultrafine

Evaluation of Total Serum IgE Level and Associated Factors in Asthmatic Patients at the University of Gondar Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia: A Comparative Cross‐Sectional Study

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder with both genetic and environmental underlying risk factors. Allergic asthma, the most prevalent kind, is mostly ascribed to aberrant T helper type 2 (Th2) inflammation and is brought on by allergens.

Expanding the Immunologic and Neuronal Landscape of IgE‐Mediated Anaphylaxis

open access: yesImmunological Reviews, Volume 337, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Anaphylaxis is a life‐threatening immunoglobulin E (IgE)‐mediated type I hypersensitivity reaction with rising prevalence and burden. It involves mast cell degranulation upon cross‐linking of antigen on mast cell‐bound IgE. Mechanisms of IgE‐mediated anaphylaxis remain incompletely understood, particularly the induction of systemic symptoms ...

Beta-blockers in COPD:time for reappraisal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016

Effects of the P2RX4 antagonist BR11595 in a guinea pig model of chronic asthma

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 21, Page 5378-5390, November 2025.
Abstract Background and Purpose Asthma is characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), allergic inflammation, and airway remodelling. Although recent studies have shown that asthma pathophysiology involves P2X4 receptor activation, a potential link with chronic asthma remains to be explored.

Effects of nebulised magnesium sulphate on inflammation and function of the guinea-pig airway [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Magnesium sulphate is a potential treatment for acute severe asthma. However, the mechanisms and dose-response relationships are poorly understood. The first objective of this study was to examine whether inhaled magnesium sulphate exerts bronchodilator ...
