CD48 is a costimulatory receptor associated with human asthma. We aimed to assess the significance of the soluble form of CD48 (sCD48) in allergic and nonallergic asthma.

Non-specific bronchial hyper-responsiveness in children with allergic rhinitis: relationship with the atopic status [PDF]
An increased prevalence of bronchial hyper-responsiveness (BHR) has been demonstrated in children from a general population, and in non-asthmatic adults with allergic rhinitis.

ABSTRACT Background Asthma is characterized by chronic airway inflammation and remodeling. Polydatin (PD), a natural compound, has shown anti‐inflammatory potential, but its role in asthma‐related airway remodeling and the underlying mechanisms involving the P2X7R–NLRP3 inflammasome axis and autophagy remain unclear.

Occupational asthma follow-up — Which markers are elevated in exhaled breath condensate and plasma?
Objectives: To search for optimal markers in the exhaled breath condensate (EBC), plasma and urine that would reflect the activity/ severity of occupational asthma (OA) after the withdrawal from the exposure to the allergen. Material and Methods: Markers

Alterations in vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) phosphorylation: associations with asthmatic phenotype, airway inflammation and β\u3csub\u3e2\u3c/sub\u3e-agonist use [PDF]
Background Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) mediates focal adhesion, actin filament binding and polymerization in a variety of cells, thereby inhibiting cell movement.

Use of continuous positive airway pressure reduces airway reactivity in adults with asthma [PDF]
Asthma is characterised by airway hyperreactivity, which is primarily treated with β-adrenergic bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory agents. However, mechanical strain during breathing is an important modulator of airway responsiveness and we have ...

Protective Role for Itaconate During Inhaled Allergen Challenge
Itaconate levels decrease in sputum following allergen inhalation in mild asthmatics, suggesting a dynamic metabolic response to airway challenge. Genetic deletion of Acod1 in mice did not alter airway inflammation or remodelling in response to chronic HDM exposure.

The Therapeutic Potential of Farm Dust Extracts in a Mouse Model of Eosinophilic Inflammation
Farm dust extract (FDE) treatment reduces airway eosinophilia, mucus overproduction, and MHC‐II expression on DCs, limiting antigen presentation and Th2 inflammation. It increases PD‐L1 on DCs, promoting T cell deactivation. Additionally, FDE enhances Tregs and upregulates CTLA‐4, reinforcing suppression.
