| Abstract | Asthma is classically considered the archetypal T(H)2 disease, with increased circulating IgE levels and eosinophilic inflammation being caused by increased levels of T(H)2-type cytokines. However, this paradigm has been challenged because of the realization that strategies designed to suppress T(H)2 function are not effective for all patients. The clinical phenotype of asthma is notoriously heterogeneous and is affected by genetic and environmental exposures in addition to interactions between airway structural cells, including epithelial cells, and the immune system, as well as contributions from cells other than T(H)2 cells. A combination of genetic and environmental factors is thought to influence whether inflammation resolves or progresses, and the pulmonary epithelium is increasingly recognized to play a key role in this process. This complex interplay has made it increasingly apparent that immune responses are tailored to the individual patient and determined by the weight of each influence, and thus the label of asthma as a T(H)2 disease is too conservative. Indeed, an important concept that needs to be addressed, both in animal models and clinically, is that of T-cell plasticity and how lymphocytic responses are determined by environmental influences. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
