Validation of the Human Ozone Challenge Model as a Tool for Assessing Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in Early Development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This study aimed to test the utility of the ozone challenge model for profiling novel compounds designed to reduce airway inflammation. The authors used a randomized, doubledummy, double-blind, placebo-controlled 3-period crossover design alternating ...

Neutrophilic Inflammation in Severe Persistent Asthma [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 1999
Airway inflammation in severe asthma is not well characterized but may involve neutrophils. We have compared induced sputum profiles in patients with asthma of varying severity and normal control subjects. We have also measured exhaled nitric oxide (NO) as a noninvasive marker of inflammation.

Haemophilus influenzae infection drives IL-17-mediated neutrophilic allergic airways disease. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2011
A subset of patients with stable asthma has prominent neutrophilic and reduced eosinophilic inflammation, which is associated with attenuated airways hyper-responsiveness (AHR).

T2-Low Asthma: A Discussed but Still Orphan Disease

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2023
Asthma affects 10% of the worldwide population; about 5% of cases are severe with the need for target therapies such as biologics. All the biologics approved for asthma hit the T2 pathway of inflammation.

MiR-223 plays a protecting role in neutrophilic asthmatic mice through the inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2020
Background Neutrophilic subtype asthma occurs in approximately 15–25% of the asthma cases and is associated with severe airflow obstruction, corticosteroid resistance.

Matrikines are key regulators in modulating the amplitude of lung inflammation in acute pulmonary infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Bioactive matrix fragments (matrikines) have been identified in a myriad of disorders, but their impact on the evolution of airway inflammation has not been demonstrated.

Neutrophilic asthma: welcome back! [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Journal, 2019
Bullone and co-workers show that neutrophilic asthma is a subtype in which the IL-17 pathway seems to be operational. It can be recognised by quantitative immunostaining of bronchial biopsy specimens and may be amenable to specific targeted therapies.http://bit.ly ...

Microbial ligand costimulation drives neutrophilic steroid-refractory asthma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease whose etiology is poorly understood but is likely to involve innate responses to inhaled microbial components that are found in allergens.

Intrinsically bioactive and biomimetic nanoparticle-derived therapies alleviate asthma by regulating multiple pathological cells

open access: yesBioactive Materials, 2023
Asthma is a serious global public health concern. Airway neutrophilic inflammation is closely related to severe asthma, for which effective and safe therapies remain to be developed.

The effects of exogenous lipid on THP-1 cells : an in vitro model of airway aspiration? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Chronic inflammatory diseases of the airways are associated with gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) and aspiration events. The observation of lipid laden macrophages (LLM) within the airway may indicate aspiration secondary to GOR.
