Infection and the development of allergic disease

An improved understanding of the roles of protein kinases in intracellular signalling and disease progression has driven significant advances in protein...

Prevention of Allergy/Asthma - New Strategies

This review focuses on the scientific rationale for early intervention aimed at asthma prophylaxis and discusses therapeutic approaches

Distinguishing benign from pathologic TH2 immunity in atopic children

In addition to its role in blocking TH2 effector activation in the late-phase allergic response, IL-10 is a known IgG1 switch factor

Elemental carbon exposure and lung function in schoolchildren from Mexico City

Though exposure to air pollution has a detrimental effect on respiratory health, few studies have examined the association between elemental carbon exposure...

In utero cigarette smoke exposure impairs somatic and lung growth in BALB/c mice

The aim of this study was to assess whether in utero tobacco smoke exposure alone affects early-life lung growth and development. Pregnant BALB/c mice...

Differential gene network analysis for the identification of asthma-associated therapeutic targets in allergen-specific T-helper memory responses

Differential network analysis of allergen-induced CD4 T cell responses can unmask covert disease-associated genes and pin point novel therapeutic targets

Responsiveness of the human airway in vitro during deep inspiration and tidal oscillation

In healthy individuals, deep inspiration produces bronchodilation and reduced airway responsiveness, which may be a response of the airway wall to mechanical...

Responsiveness of the human airway in vitro during deep inspiration and tidal oscillation

The aim of this study was to examine the in vitro response of isolated human airways to the dynamic mechanical stretch associated with normal breathing.

CD4 allergen tetramers

The introduction of class II tetramers for identifying antigen-binding CD41 cells has lagged behind the use of class I tetramers because of difficulties...

Bronchial brushings for investigating airway inflammation and remodelling

Asthma is the commonest medical cause for hospital admission for children in Australia, affects more than 300 million people worldwide, and is incurable...
