Introduction: Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) play a crucial role in regulating physiological angiogenesis and homeostasis during growth and development. Recent advancements in our knowledge of VEGFs have revealed their complex role in coordinating vascular homeostasis and pathological role in various airway allergic reactions and structural remodeling, especially in allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis (AR), which has become more apparent.
Areas Covered: After an extensive search of PubMed and Web of Science databases, our review covered articles published from 1989 to 2024. The purpose of this review was to review previous studies on VEGFs involved in inflammatory progression and tissue remodeling in airway allergic diseases, to summarize the relevant pathways. This article further reviews that VEGFs and their receptors can also be potential targets for treating airway allergic diseases.
Expert Opinion: The prevalence of airway allergic diseases is increasing, which has caused a serious economic burden. VEGFs and their receptors have been recognized as potential targets for therapeutic interventions, which have been effectively applied in the treatment of tumors and other diseases. Fully elucidating the involvement of VEGFs in the disease process will help us understand their mechanisms of action and develop targeted therapies for allergic diseases.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) are common respiratory conditions that significantly impact patient health and contribute to substantial healthcare burdens. While conventional treatments offer symptom relief, many patients continue to experience persistent symptoms, side effects, or resistance to standard therapies. This highlights the growing need for novel, non-invasive, and sustainable therapeutic strategies to manage chronic airway inflammation.

is an ubiquitous mold commonly found in both outdoor and indoor environments. It is a common airborne mold recognized as a significant aeroallergen linked to pediatric allergic rhinitis and asthma. Although sensitization rates in children vary regionally, evidence suggests that allergy significantly impacts pediatric respiratory health and as its exposure worsens, respiratory outcomes in susceptible pediatric populations .

Allergic asthma is an inflammatory airway disease influenced by genetic and environmental factors and orchestrated by imbalance between T helper 1 cell (Th1) and two immune responses. Inflammation contributes to pathological changes and remodeling in tissues such as the vascular, lung, heart, and beds. The purpose for this study was to evaluate the effects of allergic asthma on heart pathology and remodeling.

Asthma, a respiratory tract disease, is characterized by inflammation and obstruction of airway. Inflammatory cells play a significant role in allergic asthma, and there is no complete cure for asthma. One of the new approaches in medicines is nanoparticle-base treatment.

Purpose Of Review: The potential of allergen immunotherapy (AIT) to prevent allergic airway disease progression are demonstrated. Though not all patients benefit equally, there is limited research on which patients may benefit most.In this article, we focus on factors that may influence the risk of progression and their influence on the preventive effects of AIT, and whether some patients may benefit more than others may.
