Abstract
The prevalence of asthma in the United States has increased by 12% since 2001 (1). Variability in response to guideline-based therapy has been increasingly recognized. Exciting clinical advances in 2011 related to biomarker-targeted asthma treatment. There were also reports on advances in the understanding of potential immune, cellular, and biochemical mechanisms that contribute to asthma pathobiology, work in defining genetic contributors to asthma, and elucidation of environmental factors that can influence the development or expression of the disease. This review summarizes relevant articles in the Journal, along with several pertinent studies published elsewhere in 2011.
