Profiling of differentially expressed genes using suppression subtractive hybridization in an equine model of chronic asthma. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Gene expression analyses are used to investigate signaling pathways involved in diseases. In asthma, they have been primarily derived from the analysis of bronchial biopsies harvested from mild to moderate asthmatic subjects and controls.

Glucocorticoid treatment in horses with asthma: A narrative review
Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2021 Despite substantial research efforts to improve the treatment and outcome of horses with asthma, glucocorticoids (GC) remain the cornerstone of drug treatment of this prevalent disease. The high efficacy of GC to relieve airway obstruction explains their
