Background: Underlying immunological mechanisms in children with moderate-to-severe asthma are complex and unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between blood inflammatory parameters and asthma burden in children with moderate-to-severe asthma.
Methods: Blood inflammatory parameters (eosinophil and neutrophil counts and inflammatory mediators using multiplex immunoassay technology) were measured in children (6-17 years) with moderate-to-severe asthma from the SysPharmPediA cohort across four European countries.
Curated online interaction databases and gene ontology tools have streamlined the analysis of highly complex gene/protein networks. However, understanding of disease pathogenesis has gradually shifted from a protein-based core to complex interactive networks where non-coding RNA (ncRNA) is thought to play an essential role. As current gene ontology is based predominantly on protein-level information, there is a growing need to analyze networks with ncRNA.

Non-invasive blood analyses can provide valuable insights into systemic immunity during cancer. The aim of this study was to analyze the expression of transcriptional isoforms in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from BC patients and healthy women to identify potential BC immune biomarkers.

- * The study utilized single-cell RNA sequencing on PBMC samples from CD patients to identify gene expression signals that may be hidden due to therapy or inflammation, employing rigorous methods for gene selection and validation.
- * Key findings revealed significant candidate genes in CD4 T cells and double-negative T cells that were associated with responses to anti-TNFα therapy, offering insights that could improve personalized treatment strategies for CD patients.
