The Role of CD4<sup>+</sup> T Cells and Microbiota in the Pathogenesis of Asthma

Asthma, a chronic respiratory disease involving variable airflow limitations, exhibits two phenotypes: eosinophilic and neutrophilic. The asthma phenotype must be considered because the prognosis and drug responsiveness of eosinophilic and neutrophilic asthma differ. CD4<sup>+</sup> T ce...
