One in ten Australians have asthma and Dr Kimberley Wang from The Kids Research Institute Australia is on a mission to find out what causes it.
The lungs are one of the last organs in the body to develop as a baby grows. They're also one of the most important.
A The Kids for Child Health Research study has uncovered a new link between vitamin D levels and asthma.
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.
An ambitious project that could stop children developing asthma is the centrepiece of a new world-class respiratory research centre launched in Perth.
Researchers developing a world-first treatment that targets an underlying cause of asthma have secured a $499,640 grant from the Future Health, Research and Innovation Fund – Innovation Seed Fund.
A collaboration between The Kids Research Institute Australia and Joondalup Health Campus is poised to be a game-changer for early childhood development.
High risk for virus-induced asthma exacerbations in children is associated with an IRF7lo immunophenotype, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, we applied a Systems Biology approach to an animal model comprising rat strains manifesting high versus low susceptibility to experimental asthma, induced by virus/allergen coexposure, to elucidate the mechanism(s)-of-action of the high-risk asthma immunophenotype.
