Research

Phenotypic, functional, and plasticity features of classical and alternatively activated human macrophages

Human peripheral blood monocytes were differentiated into uncommitted macrophages (M0) and then polarized to M1 and M2 phenotypes using LPS/IFN-gamma...

Research

Productive infection of human embryonic stem cell-derived nkx2.1+ respiratory progenitors with human rhinovirus.

Our experiments provide proof of principle for the use of PSC-derived respiratory epithelial cells in the study of cell-virus interactions.

Research

Transcribed enhancers lead waves of coordinated transcription in transitioning mammalian cells

Our data support a highly generalizable model in which enhancer transcription is the earliest event in successive waves of transcriptional change during...

Research

Post-infectious group A streptococcal autoimmune syndromes and the heart

ARF is a classical example of an autoimmune syndrome and is of particular immunological interest because it follows a known antecedent infection with group A...

Research

Research

A western dietary pattern is associated with poor academic performance in Australian adolescents

The aim of this study was to investigate cross-sectional associations between dietary patterns and academic performance among 14-year-old adolescents.

Research

Transcriptional dynamics reveal critical roles for non-coding RNAs in the immediate-early response

The immediate-early response mediates cell fate in response to a variety of extracellular stimuli and is dysregulated in many cancers.

Research

Genetic and environmental factors in the aetiology of hypospadias

The increasing use of assisted reproductive techniques and hormonal manipulation during pregnancy may have been associated with an apparent rise in the...

Research

Food for thought: progress in understanding the causes and mechanisms of food allergy

Treatments for food allergy are still lacking, yet progress is being made, and immunotherapy appears more effective than dietary avoidance.

Research

Relationship between cytokine expression patterns and clinical outcomes: two population-based birth cohorts

Our findings suggest that positive HDM 'allergy tests' and asthma are associated with a broad range of immunophenotypes, which may have important...
