Our understanding of asthma and its therapy has changed markedly over the last few years, particularly with the application of molecular and cell biology and the discovery of new and more specific pharmacological tools. 2. Many inflammatory cells participate in the inflammatory process in asthma and mediate a complex mixture of mediators. Cytokines are of particular importance as mediators o...
متن کاملThe pathophysiology of asthma.
Because postmortem studies of humans provide little information on the initial pathophysiologic events in asthma, animal models have been developed. Recently the Ascaris-allergic rhesus monkey has provided an opportunity to examine the onset of pathophysiologic changes following challenge and to correlate them with airway structure. These studies have suggested that the initial interaction betw...

Asthma is not a series of episodic events over time, but a state of airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness that has variable manifestations within a given patient and between individuals.
