Association of asthma genetic variants with asthma-associated traits reveals molecular pathways of eosinophilic asthma [PDF]
Introduction Asthma is a complex, polygenic, heterogenous inflammatory disease. Recently, we generated a list of 128 independent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with asthma in genome-wide association studies.

Targeting eosinophils: severe asthma and beyond
Recent research in the field of bronchial asthma has mainly focused on eosinophilic disease phenotype. Several trials proved the efficacy and safety profile of eosinophils and interleukin (IL)-5 targeting molecules, currently approved for severe asthma ...

Successful treatment with dupilumab for mucus plugs in severe asthma
A 29‐year‐old man presented to our hospital with severe eosinophilic asthma. He needed a short OCS burst for exacerbation of asthma once every 1 or 2 months, although he used a high dose of inhaled corticosteroids and a long‐acting beta‐2 agonists. Chest

Nanomaterials offer dual applications in allergy management. For diagnosis, nanomaterials enhance analytical sensitivity and improve detection in specific IgE and functional assays such as the basophil activation test (BAT). For allergen‐specific immunotherapy, nanomaterials enable allergen masking and controlled release, and effectively modulate the ...
