There is a growing understanding that chronic respiratory diseases in adults have their origins in early life

Digit ratio (2D:4D) is widely used as a marker of prenatal androgen exposure

Elucidation of early life factors is critical to understand the development of allergic diseases, especially those manifesting in early life such as food allerg

To determine whether changes in 24-hour average background ozone (O₃), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), carbon monoxide (CO) and particulates < 10 μm (PM₁₀) increase the

Vitamin D deficiency exacerbates house dust mite-induced inflammation and alterations in lung structure and function

Evidence into the role of TGF-β1 in airway epithelial repair in asthma is still controversial. This study tested the hypothesis that the reduced TGF-β1 levels previously observed in paediatric asthmatic airway epithelial cells directly contribute to the dysregulated repair seen in these cells.

We propose that propensity for viral exacerbations of asthma and COPD relate to delayed expression of epithelial cell innate anti-viral immune genes

Findings provide further proof of concept that pharmacological targeting of airway smooth muscle thickness will be beneficial and may be facilitated by azithromycin

Allergic inflammation is commonly observed in a number of conditions that are associated with atopy including asthma, eczema and rhinitis.
