AI Article Synopsis

  • * Bronchiectasis is associated with various comorbidities and underlying causes, with ongoing research into its inflammatory endotypes and the influence of certain genes on disease progression.
  • * The review aims to compile current knowledge on biomarkers and actionable targets in bronchiectasis, while highlighting gaps in understanding that need to be addressed for improved diagnosis and treatment.

Article Abstract

Specific molecular and inflammatory endotypes have been identified for chronic respiratory disorders, including asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). These endotypes correspond with clinical aspects of disease, enabling targeted medicines to address certain pathophysiologic pathways, often referred to as "precision medicine". With respect to bronchiectasis, many comorbidities and underlying causes have been identified. Inflammatory endotypes have also been widely studied and reported. Additionally, several genes have been shown to affect disease progression. However, the lack of a clear classification has also hampered our understanding of the disease's natural course. The aim of this review is, thus, to summarize the current knowledge on biomarkers and actionable targets of this complex pathologic condition and to point out unmet needs, which are required in the design of effective diagnostic and therapeutic trials.

Arthritis, a diverse group of inflammatory joint disorders, poses great challenges in early diagnosis and targeted treatment. Timely intervention is imperative, yet conventional diagnostic methods are not able to detect subtle early symptoms. Hence, there is an urgent need for specific biomarkers that discriminate between different arthritis forms and for early diagnosis.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory lung disease with high prevalence, making it one of the most common chronic conditions worldwide. Its pathophysiology is influenced by a range of genetic and environmental factors, resulting in a complex and heterogeneous disease profile. Asthma is primarily associated with a type 2 (T2) immune response, though non-T2 endotypes also contribute to disease pathology.

As cholinergic innervation is a major contributor to increased vagal tone and mucus secretion, inhaled long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) are a pillar for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. By blocking the muscarinic receptors expressed in the lung, LAMA improve lung function and reduce exacerbations in asthma patients who remained poorly controlled despite treatment with inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting β2 agonists. Asthma guidelines recommend LAMA as a third controller to be added on before the initiation of biologicals.

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is characterized by prolonged inflammation of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa lasting over 12 weeks. CRS is divided into two main types based on the presence of nasal polyps: CRS without nasal polyps and CRS with nasal polyps. The condition is further classified into endotypes based on type 1, type 2, and type 3 inflammatory signatures, with differences in terms of disease severity, prognosis, and treatment response.

Purpose: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has been distinguished in primary CRS, a primary inflammatory disorder limited to airways and secondary CRS, in which the sinonasal pathology is caused by a systemic disease or a local pathologic condition. Primary CRS is in turn classified in Type 2 and Non-type 2 on the basis of the endotype and of the pattern of the immune response. Advance in the knowledge of CRS has led to new therapeutic options, among which Dupilumab (anti-IL4R).
