Deficiency of Mitochondrial Fatty Acid Enzyme, CPT1A, Underlies Airway Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction in Severe Asthma

Allergy, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial fatty acid enzyme, CPT1A, is deficient in the airway epithelium of severe asthma patients. Restoration of CPT1A expression improved epithelial barrier integrity via increasing mitochondrial respiration and ATP production in airway epithelial cells. Restoration of deficient epithelial CPT1A may represent a new treatment approach for severe

A Real‐World Controlled Multicentre Study Evaluating the Association Between Benralizumab Therapy and Major Outcomes in Severe Asthma

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
Among patients with severe eosinophilic asthma, benralizumab was associated with greater improvements in asthma outcomes—such as improved asthma control, quality of life and remission rates—compared to biologic‐naïve patients. ABSTRACT Background Real‐world data on benralizumab in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma–while controlling for ...
