Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles for the Management of Allergic Airway Diseases

In the intricate realm of respiratory health, allergic airways diseases stand as a significant challenge, affecting millions globally with conditions such as asthma and allergic rhinitis, and pose substantial challenges to individuals and healthcare systems worldwide. In the intricate tapestry of human health, the respiratory system stands as a sentinel of life, facilitating the exchange of vital gases and ensuring the sustenance of every cell. Yet, this intricate machinery is not immune to disruptions, and among the myriad challenges it faces, allergic airways diseases emerge as significant contenders. Asthma and allergic rhinitis, two prominent entities within this spectrum, orchestrate a symphony of immunological responses that, when dysregulated, induce chronic inflammation, and compromise respiratory function. Amid the quest for innovative therapeutic strategies, the application of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles emerges as a promising frontier of exploration. This chapter endeavors to unravel the dynamic interplay between allergic airways diseases and the therapeutic potential of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, delving into the underlying mechanisms, recent advancements, and the promising prospects for future clinical applications in this evolving field.
