Airway inflammation, a hallmark feature of asthma, drives many canonical features of the disease, including airflow limitation, mucus plugging, airway remodeling, and hyperresponsiveness. The T2 inflammatory paradigm is firmly established as the dominant mechanism of asthma pathogenesis, largely due to the success of inhaled corticosteroids and biologic therapies targeting components of the T2 pathway, including IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). However, up to 30% of patients may lack signatures of meaningful T2 inflammation (ie, T2 low).

Background: Mucus plugging has been identified as an important feature of severe asthma contributing to airway obstruction and disease severity. Recently, improvement of mucus plugging has been found upon treatment with several biologic therapies.
Objective: We aimed to analyze associations of baseline characteristic with mucus plugging score (MPS) and asked whether MPS at baseline predicts the clinical and functional response to biologic treatment in patients with severe asthma.

In patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD), there is disparate regulation of prostaglandin E2 (PGE) and prostaglandin D (PGD). Both prostanoids are synthesised by cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2). However, while the basal synthesis of PGE tends to decrease, that of PGD increases in patients with AERD.

Purpose: To investigate intrinsic phototransduction in the corneal epithelium and its role in intracellular and inflammatory signaling.
Methods: Optical imaging in isolated corneal epithelial cells (CECs) and debrided epithelia was combined with molecular, biochemical, pharmacological assays and gene deletion studies to track UVB-induced calcium signaling and release of cytokines, chemokines and matrix remodeling enzymes. Results from wild type mouse CECs were compared to data obtained from Opn5 and Trpv4 cells.

Purpose Of The Review: Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is increasingly recognized for its pivotal role in the pathogenesis of various epithelial-driven chronic inflammatory diseases. This review navigates the existing evidence on TSLP, with a particular focus on asthma, before delving into the current understanding of its role in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). We explore the role of TSLP in the pathogenesis of asthma and CRSwNP, two conditions often interconnected and collectively referred to as"Global Airway Disease".
