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.
Wheezing and asthma exacerbations are leading causes of pediatric hospital admissions. Predicting which children will experience persistent exacerbations remains challenging. Prior research has identified immune endotypes in the nasal epithelium of children with acute asthma and wheezing, characterized by varying balances of interferons and inflammatory markers. Notably, children exhibiting low interferon responses coupled with high inflammation are at an increased risk for recurrent respiratory exacerbations.
