Advances in Asthma: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is the 2nd edition of "Advances in Asthma" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/Frontiers_Asthma).

Bronchial asthma is an intriguing topic. The definition of several different endotypes/phenotypes has led to a more personalized approach, mainly based on different types of biologic inflammation. The development of many biologics has improved the treatment of severe asthma, leading to a significant reduction of exacerbated cases and the use of oral steroids. However, we need to identify more specific biomarkers and carefully clinically evaluate each case. Moreover, despite the availability of very effective drugs for any level of severity, the lack of asthma control is still a major problem in the management of the disease. The support of digital medicine, as well as easier treatments, would improve adherence to the treatment. In summary, the management of asthma is still a “work in progress”, despite significant progress that has been made in its pharmacological treatment.
