Optical coherence tomography-based contact indentation for diaphragm mechanics in a mouse model of transforming growth factor alpha induced lung disease

This study tested the utility of optical coherence tomography-based indentation to assess mechanical properties of respiratory tissues in disease

Pulmonary microRNA profiles identify involvement of Creb1 and Sec14l3 in bronchial epithelial changes in allergic asthma

In this study, we aimed to use microRNAs-which are critical regulators of signaling cascades-to identify so far uncharacterized asthma pathogenesis pathways

A cross-sectional survey of environmental health in remote Aboriginal communities in Western Australia

Poor environmental health is prevalent in remote Aboriginal communities and requires further delineation to inform environmental health policy

Early life rhinovirus infection exacerbates house-dust-mite induced lung disease more severely in female mice

Early life rhinovirus infection influences the development of house-dust-mite induced lung disease in female, but not male mice

Biodiesel exhaust-induced cytotoxicity and proinflammatory mediator production in human airway epithelial cells

Canola biodiesel exhaust exposure elicits inflammation and reduces viability of human epithelial cell cultures in vitro when compared with ULSD exhaust exposure

Geogenic PM10 exposure exacerbates responses to influenza infection

This study aimed to determine whether chronic, low-dose exposure to geogenic particulate matter <10μm diameter (PM10) exacerbates viral infections of the...

House dust mite induced lung inflammation does not alter circulating vitamin D levels

We hypothesized that allergic inflammation decreases the level of circulating 25(OH)D and tested this using a mice model of house dust mite (HDM) induced...

Biodiesel exhaust-induced cytotoxicity and proinflammatory mediator production in human airway epithelial cells

Our results show that canola biodiesel exhaust exposure elicits inflammation and reduces viability of human epithelial cell cultures in vitro when compared...

The effect of diesel exhaust exposure on blood-brain barrier integrity and function in a murine model

Epidemiological studies indicate that exposure to diesel exhaust (DE) is associated with vascular-based disorders.

The effects of e-cigarette use on asthma severity in adult BALB/c mice

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are often perceived to be a less harmful alternative to tobacco cigarettes. Potentially due to this perception, they are used by people with pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma, who otherwise would not smoke. Despite this, there are few studies exploring the health effects of e-cigarette use on pre-existing asthma.
