Cover Story: The airways of an asthmatic are battlefields of unchecked inflammation and environmental triggers. In addition to traditional therapies, new biologic therapies targeting IL-5 and other key interleukins are used to control asthma and prevent fibrotic airway damage. However, as current therapies rely on mechanical delivery through inhalation devices, delivery into the deep lungs past mucosal barriers remains a challenge to conquering exacerbations. Recently, a new frontier of asthma therapy based on custom nanoscale particles engineered to deliver medicines under such conditions has been explored. This article reviews current technology and future directions of such liposomal, nanoparticulate, and exosomal drug delivery for asthma in addition to brief reviews on current medicines and mechanical delivery systems for asthma treatment. View this paper.
