Asthma is a disease consisting of different phenotypes that are driven by different mechanistic pathways (endotypes). The recognition of these phenotypes and endotypes is central to asthma management entailing prognostic and therapeutic implications. It is acknowledged that despite optimal treatment, many patients are poorly controlled, highlighting the need for phenotype-guided treatments. In this context, the emergence of novel therapies (monoclonal antibody therapy, bronchial thermoplasty) is paving the way for personalized asthma therapy. A better understanding of disease pathogenesis may enable the identification of biomarkers, mediators, novel therapeutic targets, and treatable traits. Further molecular phenotyping or endotyping of asthma will be necessary to tailor new therapeutic strategies. The present Special Issue on Asthma aims to provide the current knowledge on phenotypes and endotypes in appreciating and managing the heterogeneous condition that is asthma. 517 $aAsthma 606 $aMedicine$2bicssc 610 $aasthma 610 $alactic acidosis 610 $ahyperchloremic acidosis 610 $ahypocapnia 610 $ahypercapnia 610 $awheezing 610 $abronchial biopsies 610 $asymptom persistence 610 $aclinical remission 610 $aeosinophil 610 $aadhesion 610 $aviability 610 $aproliferation 610 $aairway smooth muscle cell 610 $apulmonary fibroblast 610 $aphenotype 610 $aacute severe asthma exacerbation 610 $anear fatal asthma 610 $asevere asthma 610 $ainflammation 610 $ainterleukin-5 (IL-5) 610 $aanti-IL-5 610 $ainterleukin-4 610 $aairway remodeling 610 $amatrix metalloproteinases-9 610 $atissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 610 $aalveolar macrophages 610 $alung function 610 $abronchodilation 610 $aresistance 610 $aobstruction 610 $areproducible 610 $aspirometry 610 $aobstructive sleep apnea 610 $abronchial asthma 610 $aalternative overlap syndrome 610 $aexacerbation 610 $areactive oxygen species 610 $aPBMC 610 $amitochondrial function 610 $ainnate immunity 610 $aimmune regulation 610 $aNLRP3 610 $aIL-1? 610 $aallergic airway inflammation 610 $amicrobiome 610 $apathogenesis 610 $aimmune responses 610 $aPreDicta 610 $apreschool 610 $aFeNO 610 $aasthma-specific quality of life 610 $achronic rhinitis 610 $adisease-specific quality of life 610 $ahealth-related quality of Life (HRQLQ) 610 $achildren 610 $alongitudinal study 615 7$aMedicine 700 $aRovina$b Nikoletta$4edt$01280957 702 $aRovina$b Nikoletta$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557749803321 996 $aAsthma$93017748 997 $aUNINA
