NK cells in asthma exacerbation

Asthma management typically aims at maintaining asthma control by using corticosteroids that suppress airway inflammation. However, acute asthma exacerbations often occur leading to loss of control and necessitating systemic corticosteroids, hospitalization, or even both. Consequently, acute asthma exacerbations have a major impact on the mortality and morbidity of asthma as well as on the medical costs associated with the disease [1]. Although the development of new medications to reduce the frequency and severity of acute asthma exacerbations has advanced recently, an incomplete understanding of the immuno-pathogenetic mechanisms underlying these episodes of spontaneous worsening still limits their development.
