Effect of human rhinovirus infection on airway epithelium tight junction protein disassembly and transepithelial permeabilityHRV-1B infection directly alters human airway epithelial TJ expression leading to increased epithelial permeability potentially via antiviral response of IL-15
Research
CFTR-dependent defect in alternatively-activated macrophages in cystic fibrosisCFTR-dependent imbalance of macrophage phenotypes and functions could contribute to the exaggerated inflammatory response seen in CF lung disease
Research
Intracellular growth of Mycobacterium avium subspecies and global transcriptional responses in human macrophages after infectionMycobacterium avium subsp. avium (Maa) and M. avium subsp. hominissuis (Mah) are environmental mycobacteria and significant opportunistic pathogens.
Research
Asthma: Acute asthma flare-up in school-age childrenThe aim of this study is to identify differences in immune cells that are involved in the disease.
Research
Breastfeeding and Neonatal Age Influence Neutrophil-Driven Ontogeny of Blood Cell Populations in the First Week of Human LifeThe first few days of life are characterized by rapid external and internal changes that require substantial immune system adaptations. Despite growing evidence of the impact of this period on lifelong immune health, this period remains largely uncharted.
Research
Immunoinflammatory responses to febrile lower respiratory infections in infants display uniquely complex/intense transcriptomic profilesthe association between infant LRTI and risk for persistent wheeze/asthma in this cohort is generally stronger for fLRTIs than for other infection categories
Research
Bilateral murine tumor models for characterizing the response to immune checkpoint blockadeThis protocol describes bilateral murine tumor models that display a symmetrical yet dichotomous response to immune checkpoint blockade
Research
Respiratory viral infections and host responses; insights from genomicsReview of the viral sensing pathways and organizing principles that govern the innate immune response to infection
Research
Rapid recruitment of CD14+ monocytes in experimentally induced allergic rhinitis in human subjectsMononuclear phagocyte population is directly involved in the production of proinflammatory chemokines that attract other immune cells
