Asthma is a complex and heterogeneous disease influenced by genetic, environmental, and immunological factors. Chronic inflammation and airway remodeling are central to its pathogenesis. Effective management requires a personalized approach, considering the diverse phenotypes and endotypes of asthma. New biological therapies and a better understanding of the disease mechanisms offer promising avenues for improving patient outcomes. Smoking cessation and addressing infections are also critical components of asthma management.
