Effect of human rhinovirus infection on airway epithelium tight junction protein disassembly and transepithelial permeability

HRV-1B infection directly alters human airway epithelial TJ expression leading to increased epithelial permeability potentially via antiviral response of IL-15

Research

Informing rubella vaccination strategies in East Java, Indonesia through transmission modelling

A single dose of rubella vaccine will take longer to reduce the burden of rubella and will be less robust to lower vaccine coverage

High success rate of lung function testing in healthy, unsedated 1- and 2-year-old South African children

Lung function measures in a health, unsedated 1- and 2-year-old children in a South African birth cohort study

Research

iming of Introduction of Solids and Early-Onset Allergic Disease

Strategies to prevent early-life food allergen sensitisation prior to commencement of solid foods are needed and should be the focus of future research

Research

Impaired airway epithelial cell responses from children with asthma to rhinoviral infection

Human rhinovirus infection delays repair and inhibits apoptotic processes in epithelial cells from non-asthmatic and asthmatic children

Research

Asbestos exposure and histological subtype of malignant mesothelioma

Pathological malignant mesothelioma subtype is associated with the type of asbestos or the attributes of asbestos exposure

Research

Vitamin D supplementation of initially vitamin D-deficient mice diminishes lung inflammation with limited effects on pulmonary epithelial integrity

In disease settings, vitamin D may be important for maintaining optimal lung epithelial integrity and suppressing inflammation, but less is known of its effects prior to disease onset.
