Reports and Findings

The impact of respiratory viruses on lung health after preterm birth

The aim of this review is to highlight the risk factors that may contribute to increased susceptibility to viral respiratory infections among preterm infants

Airway function in infancy is linked to airflow measurements and respiratory symptoms from childhood into adulthood

Lung airflow measurements track from birth into early adulthood, suggesting a permanent and stable airway framework is laid down in the antenatal period

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

Differential Sensitivity of Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma Xenografts to an IGF-II Neutralizing Antibody May Involve Activated STAT3

These findings implicate the activation of STAT3 as one pathway that may mediate resistance to IGF-II-targeted therapy in HCC

Changes in cell morphology guide identification of tubulin as the off-target for protein kinase inhibitors

Early changes in cell morphology upon treatments are a strong indication that the inhibitor is directly targeting tubulin

Child-parent agreement on alcohol-related parenting: Opportunities for prevention of alcohol-related harm

Parent non-supply of alcohol and disapproval of use were most important in terms of associations with ever drinking

Age invariance in rapid facial affective reactions to emotionally valenced stimuli

Rapid facial reactions to emotional stimuli are intact in late adulthood, even in response to stimuli that activate more automatic and implicit forms of emotion processing

WHO/IUIS Allergen Nomenclature: Providing a common language

Aim was to standardize the names given to the antigens (allergens) that caused IgE-mediated allergies in humans
