Article Abstract

The ANCHOR-1 and ANCHOR-2 trials of the long-acting anti-interleukin (IL)-5 monoclonal antibody depemokibab in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis demonstrated the safety and statistical efficacy of the drug compared to placebo. However, its clinical benefits appear limited compared to other biologic therapies. The reduced dosing interval may improve adherence, but further research is needed to identify the most responsive patients.

Objectives: Exosomes play a crucial role in intercellular communication and may contribute to the development of various diseases. Nevertheless, their role in Nasal Polyps (NPs) remains poorly understood. Herein, Nasal Polyp Fibroblasts (NPF) were used to release exosomes, and epithelial cells were cocultured with NPF-derived exosomes to analyze Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS).

Background: Emerging evidence suggests a possible link between rhinosinusitis and systemic rheumatic diseases; however, no meta-analysis has comprehensively examined this association to date. We aimed to investigate if patients with rhinosinusitis have a predisposition to unmasking rheumatic diseases compared to individuals without rhinosinusitis.

Methods: A comprehensive search in MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science was conducted until February 2025 for studies characterizing rheumatic disease incidence, prevalence, and risk in cohorts of rhinosinusitis patients.
