Asthma Alleviation by Ginsenoside Rb1 via Promotion of Treg Proliferation and Inflammatory T Cell Inhibition

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Screening of 250 natural products identified ginsenoside Rb1 (gRb1) as a potent modulator of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and inflammatory T cells. gRb1 increased IL‐10‐ and TGF‐β‐expressing Tregs while reducing Th17, Th1, and Th2 populations in both asthma model mice and human PBMCs.

Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists: Effects on Pulmonary Function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In healthy lungs, muscarinic receptors control smooth muscle tone, mucus secretion, vasodilation, and inflammation. In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, cholinergic mechanisms contribute to increased bronchoconstriction and mucus secretion that limit airflow.

Economic Impact of Allergic Diseases and Asthma—The HEAD Pan‐European Registry

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
This registry‐based study demonstrates the substantial economic burden of allergic diseases across Europe with a high degree of heterogeneity between countries. Treatments and specialist visits are the primary drivers of healthcare costs. Asthma poses the highest disease burden.

Dupilumab Treatment Is Associated With Clinical Improvement and a Shift Toward a Health‐Associated Nasal Passage Microbiota in Diffuse Type 2 Chronic Rhinosinusitis

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
This study investigates longitudinal effects of dupilumab on the nasal passage and gastrointestinal microbiota in patients with diffuse type 2 CRSwNP. CRSwNP patients show altered nasal microbiota composition compared to healthy individuals. Dupilumab treatment is associated with a shift of nasal microbiota in CRSwNP, with increasing beneficial genera (

Muscarinic receptor oligomerization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have been classically described as monomeric entities that function by binding in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio to both ligand and downstream signalling proteins.

Effect of anticholinergic eye drops on intraorbital, periorbital and brain pulsation power

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The study aims to investigate the effect of pharmacologically reducing parasympathetic activity on ocular and cerebral pulsations, inspired by recent discoveries of a glymphatic‐like system in the eye driven by physiological pulsations.

Long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) added to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) versus the same dose of ICS alone for adults with asthma. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: Despite the availability of several evidence-based therapies and non-pharmacological strategies to improve control of symptoms and prevent exacerbations of asthma, patients with asthma continue to be at risk for mortality and morbidity ...
