    Abstract Purpose of review: Type-2 (T2)-high asthma represents a well defined group of severe eosinophilic asthma for which there are now effective biologic therapies targetting the interleukins (ILs) 4, 5 and 13, and Immunoglobulin E. T2-low asthma detected in the clinic by a low blood eosinophil count remains ill-defined and is the focus of this review.
    Recent findings: By analysing transcriptomic and proteomic expression in sputum samples in U-BIOPRED cohort, both T2-high and -low molecular phenotypes have been described. Using clustering approaches, a neutrophilic-predominant cluster associated with activation markers of neutrophilic and inflammasome activation with interferon and tumour necrosis factor expression, together with a cluster of paucigranulocytic inflammation linked to oxidative phosphorylation and senescence pathways have been described. Using gene set variation analysis, specific molecular phenotypes driven by IL-6 trans-signalling pathway, or those by IL-6, IL-17 and IL-22 pathways were identified linked to a mixed granulocytic or neutrophilic inflammation.
    Summary: Previous trials of antineutrophilic agents in asthma have failed because enrolled patients were not specifically chosen for these targeted treatments. Although the T2-low molecular pathways should be validated in other cohorts, the availability of targeted therapies indicated for other autoimmune conditions should encourage a trial of these respective biological therapies for these specific molecular phenotypes.

    Abstract Respiratory disease and breathing abnormalities worsen with dehydration of the upper airways. We find that humidification of inhaled air occurs by evaporation of water over mucus lining the upper airways in such a way as to deliver an osmotic force on mucus, displacing it towards the epithelium. This displacement thins the periciliary layer of water beneath mucus while thickening topical water that is partially condensed from humid air on exhalation. With the rapid mouth breathing of dry air, this condensation layer, not previously reported while common to transpiring hydrogels in nature, can deliver an osmotic compressive force of up to around 100 cm H

    Abstract Chronic cough is characterized by a state of cough hypersensitivity. We analyze the process of transpiration, by which water appears to evaporate from laryngeal and tracheal mucus as from the surface of a leaf, as a potential cause of cough hypersensitivity. In this process, osmotic pressure differences form across mucus, pulling water toward the air, and preventing mucus dehydration. Recent research suggests that these osmotic differences grow on encounter with dry and dirty air, amplifying pressure on upper airway epithelia and initiating a cascade of biophysical events that potentially elevate levels of ATP, promote inflammation and acidity, threaten water condensation, and diminish mucus water permeability. Among consequences of this inflammatory cascade is tendency to cough. Studies of isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic aerosols targeted to the upper airways give insights to the nature of mucus transpiration and its relationship to a water layer that forms by condensation in the upper airways on exhalation. They also suggest that, while hypertonic NaCl and mannitol may provoke cough and bronchoconstriction, hypertonic salts with permeating anions and non-permeating cations may relieve these same upper respiratory dysfunctions. Understanding of mucus transpiration and its role in cough hypersensitivity can lead to new treatment modalities for chronic cough and other airway dysfunctions promoted by the breathing of dry and dirty air.

    Abstract Although asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are considered as 2 distinct airway disorders, asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) includes those with features of both asthma and COPD. ACO is distinguished by having more frequent exacerbations and being associated with higher medical costs. Several objective labels or biomarkers have been identified and recommended for diagnosing and guiding the management of ACO. This article reviews the recent advances in clinical assessment of and the utility of biomarkers in ACO, as well as highlights a treatable trait approach to identify and manage these chronic airway diseases.
