Abstract
Severe asthma is a complex heterogeneous disease with substantial unmet clinical need. Understanding the immunopathogenesis is likely to provide insights into potential novel therapies. To date researchers have focussed primarily at a single scale for example genome, cell or whole organ physiology. In this review we shall summarise the current knowledge of the immunopathogenesis of severe asthma integrated across multiple scales to provide the insights into the structure function relationships required to begin to unravel the complexity of severe asthma.

"Tuberculosis Prevention, Diagnosis and Drug Discovery"
The Nobel Prize-winning discoveries of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and streptomycin have enabled an appropriate diagnosis and an effective treatment of tuberculosis (TB). Since then, many newer diagnosis methods and drugs have been saving millions of lives. Despite advances in the past, TB is still a leading cause of infectious disease mortality ...read more
