Mechanical Abnormalities of the Airway Wall in Adult Mice After Intrauterine Growth RestrictionWe propose that mechanical abnormalities of the airway wall acquired through disrupted fetal growth impact susceptibility to disease

Nicotine and other potentially harmful compounds in "nicotine-free" e-cigarette liquids in AustraliaThe aim of our investigation was to assess the chemical composition of a range of e-liquids available in Australia, focusing on nicotine and other potentially harmful compounds

Rhinovirus exacerbates house-dust-mite induced lung disease in adult miceIn this study, we combined human-rhinovirus infection with a clinically relevant mouse model of aero-allergen exposure using house-dust-mite in an attempt to...

Increased heterogeneity of airway calibre in adult rats after hypoxia-induced intrauterine growth restrictionThe rat model demonstrates that intrauterine growth restriction leads to a more heterogeneous distribution of airway lumen calibre in adulthood

The concentration of iron in real-world geogenic PM10 is associated with increased inflammation and deficits in lung function in miceMineral dusts in the occupational setting are associated with poor lung health, however very little is known about the impact of heterogeneous community...
