Abstract EN
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways, resulting in bronchial hyperresponsiveness with every allergen exposure.
It is now clear that asthma is not a single disease, but rather a multifaceted syndrome that results from a variety of biologic mechanisms.
Asthma is further problematic given that the disease consists of many variants, each with its own etiologic and pathophysiologic factors, including different cellular responses and inflammatory phenotypes.
These facets make the rapid and accurate diagnosis (not to mention treatments) of asthma extremely difficult.
Protein biomarkers can serve as powerful detection tools in both clinical and basic research applications.
Recent endeavors from biomedical researchers have developed technical platforms, such as cytokine antibody arrays, that have been employed and used to further the global analysis of asthma biomarker studies.
In this review, we discuss potential asthma biomarkers involved in the pathophysiologic process and eventual pathogenesis of asthma, how these biomarkers are being utilized, and how further testing methods might help improve the diagnosis and treatment strain that current asthma patients suffer.
