A new study has found that young children with severe or persistent asthma are at higher risk of developing many common mental health problems.
Australian scientists have today launched a world first research trial into a treatment that could prevent asthma in high risk children.
Two Australian scientists are spearheading an international campaign that's challenging the way asthma drugs are developed and tested.
These findings suggest the utility of specific FOT outcomes is dependent on the respiratory disease being assessed
Type 1 and 3 interferon response capacity appears strongly developmentally constrained at birth
PLA2R1 is increased in the airway epithelium in asthma, and serves as a regulator of airway hyperresponsiveness, airway permeability, antigen sensitization, and airway inflammation
Human rhinovirus infection delays repair and inhibits apoptotic processes in epithelial cells from non-asthmatic and asthmatic children
Evidence into the role of TGF-β1 in airway epithelial repair in asthma is still controversial. This study tested the hypothesis that the reduced TGF-β1 levels previously observed in paediatric asthmatic airway epithelial cells directly contribute to the dysregulated repair seen in these cells.
Vitamin D deficiency exacerbates house dust mite-induced inflammation and alterations in lung structure and function
Asthma exacerbations are heterogeneous conditions that involve the complex interplay between environmental exposures and innate and adaptive immune function
