Elucidating the mechanisms that sustain asthmatic inflammation is critical for precision therapies. We found that interleukin-6- and STAT3 transcription factor-dependent upregulation of Notch4 receptor on lung tissue regulatory T (T<sub>reg</sub>) cells is necessary for allergens and particulate matter pollutants to promote airway inflammation. Notch4 subverted T<sub>reg</sub> cells into the type 2 and type 17 helper (T<sub>H</sub>2 and T<sub>H</sub>17) effector T cells by Wnt and Hippo pathway- ...[more]
