No full textAdvancing precision medicine for asthma by focusing on type 2 cytokines and alarmins
No full textPurpose of reviewAsthma is a heterogeneous disease encompassing distinct phenotypes and endotypes. Advances in elucidating the pathogenic role of type 2 (T2) cytokines and epithelial-derived alarmins have profoundly reshaped our understanding of airway inflammation in asthma. This review provides an updated perspective on how these mediators contribute to asthma pathobiology and examines their integration into emerging precision medicine strategies.Recent findingsBiologic agents targeting T2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13) and alarmins (TSLP and IL-33) have demonstrated efficacy across a broad spectrum of severe asthma phenotypes. Recent evidence underscores the central role of alarmins in orchestrating both innate and adaptive immune responses within the airways. In parallel, the development of alarmin-associated molecular and clinical biomarkers is expanding patient stratification beyond traditional eosinophilic and allergic profiles.SummaryAdvancing our understanding of alarmins and T2 cytokines offers new opportunities to refine asthma endotyping, personalize therapeutic decisions, and pursue sustained disease remission. Future directions include the integration of multiomics, real-world evidence, and novel biomarker platforms to consolidate the next phase of precision medicine in asthma and optimize long-term disease modification strategies.</p

Early Shakespeare, 1588-1594
No full textEarly Shakespeare, 1588–1594 draws together leading scholars of text, performance, and theatre history to offer a rigorous re-appraisal of Shakespeare's early career. The contributors offer rich new critical insights into the theatrical and poetic context in which Shakespeare first wrote and his emergence as an author of note, while challenging traditional readings of his beginnings in the burgeoning theatre industry. Shakespeare's earliest works are treated on their own merit and in their own time without looking forward to Shakespeare's later achievements; contributors situate Shakespeare, in his twenties, in a very specific time, place, and cultural moment. The volume features essays about Shakespeare's early style, characterisation, and dramaturgy, together with analysis of his early co-authors, rivals, and influences (including Lyly, Spenser and Marlowe). This collection provides essential entry points to, and original readings of, the poet-dramatist's earliest extant writings and shines new light on his first activities as a professional author

Pictures of You : Ten Journeys in Time
No full text"The 20th century took history out of the hands of historians and gave it to photographers. in Pictures of You, best-selling author Rory MacLean (Stalin's Nose, Berlin:Imagine a City) draws on the world's largest archive of amateur photography to discover ten real lives, one from each decade of that century. The first killing of the Cold War, the dying hopes of a doomed aviator, the ghosts of Native America at Alcatraz, Chairman Mao's most timid lover; ten journeys in time, ten forgotten voices that echo down from the past, ten intimate stories that mirror our own." -- p. [2] of cover
I See You: A Photo Album of People with Intellectual Disability
Full text linkThe casebook for the Institute for Imbecile Children, and the casebooks of the Grahamstown Lunatic Asylum constitutes one of South Africa’s largest archived records for people with intellectual disability (PWID) who were institutionalised from 1890 to 1920. In I See You I testify how the viewing of the casebooks’ content and photographs gave rise to a personal recognition of the personhood of the PWID. My testimony takes the form of poetry that is composed to honour and memorialise each individual person who is included in this album.
