IgE and T-cell responses to house dust mite allergen components

Recent studies with synthetic peptides representing allergens and non-allergenic house dust mite proteins now offer new research avenues on HDM induced immune responses

Research

Epigenetic dysregulation of naive CD4+ T-cell activation genes in childhood food allergy

Our data indicate epigenetic dysregulation in the early stages of signal transduction through the T cell receptor complex, and likely reflects pathways modified by gene-environment interactions in food allergy

Research

Relevance of Aboriginal Peer-Led Parent Support: Strengthening the Child Environment in Remote Areas

This research highlights the critical emerging role of peer support workers in home visiting family support in a remote area of Australia

Research

Rhinovirus is the most common virus and rhinovirus-C is the most common species in paediatric intensive care respiratory admissions

This is the first report examining the role of different rhinovirus species in ARIs in children admitted to a tertiary PICU

Research

Meta-taxonomic analysis of prokaryotic and eukaryotic gut flora in stool samples from visceral leishmaniasis cases and endemic controls in Bihar State India

We evaluate a meta-taxonomic approach to determine the composition of prokaryotic and eukaryotic gut microflora using sequencing of 16S RNA and 18S rRNA

Research

In Epigenomic Studies, Including Cell-Type Adjustments in Regression Models Can Introduce Multicollinearity, Resulting in Apparent Reversal of Direction of Association

Where cell types are highly correlated with other covariates in regression models, the statistical assumption of no multicollinearity may be violated

Research

Maternal Smoking During Pregnancy Induces Epigenetic Changes Into Adolescence, Independent of Postnatal Smoke Exposure and Is Associated With Cardiometabolic Risk

This study demonstrates a critical timing of cigarette smoke exposure over the life course for establishing persistent changes in DNA methylation into adolescence

Research

Glutathione S-Transferase Genotype Protects against in Utero Tobacco-linked Lung Function Deficits

Certain glutathione S-transferase genotypes may have protective effects against the long-term deficits in lung function associated with in utero tobacco exposure

Research

Viral respiratory infections and the oropharyngeal bacterial microbiota in acutely wheezing children

Bacterial airway microbiome is highly variable in early life and its role in wheeze remains less clear than viral influences

Research

Association between pregnant women's experience of stress and partners’ fly-in-fly-out work

There is some evidence that the pregnant partners of fly-in-fly-out workers perceive their lives to be more stressful
