Understanding the pathogenesis of different phenotypes of asthma, including glucocorticoid-dependent and glucocorticoid-resistant asthma, is crucial for the development of effective treatments. Autophagy, a fundamental cellular process involved in cell homeostasis, has been implicated in asthma, although the exact mechanisms remain unclear. Recent studies have identified autophagy activation in eosinophilic, neutrophilic, and paucigranulocytic asthma, providing novel insights into the disease. This comprehensive review examines the role of autophagy in the pathogenesis and treatment of asthma, with a focus on various cell types. The goal is to uncover potential therapeutic targets and innovative treatment modalities to improve patient outcomes in clinical settings.

Persistent cough bothers many patients with asthma because it worsens their quality of life; therefore, it must be remedied immediately. The efficacy of triple therapy as a first-line treatment for cough remains unclear. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the triple therapy againts persistent cough, the clinical effect of regular treatment with fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI) or placebo in adult patients with asthma was investigated.

Understanding the dynamic pathophysiology of diseases in the lung, such as asthma and chronic asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung cancer, is crucial for the treatment, analysis, and outcome of these diseases. Unlike other traditional models, we suggest a protocol that is sustainable and reproducible and offers different analysis methods while maintaining in vivo lung architecture and immune dynamics. This protocol allows one to study the pathophysiological changes, including changes to the immune cells, cytokines, and mediators, in 30 precision-cut lung slices from a single murine lung.
