Trajectories of childhood immune development and respiratory health relevant to asthma and allergy

Our findings demonstrate the utility of unsupervised analysis in elucidating heterogeneity in asthma pathogenesis

Genome-wide association and HLA fine-mapping studies identify risk loci and genetic pathways underlying allergic rhinitis

GWAS analyses of allergic sensitization against inhalant allergens and nonallergic rhinitis suggested shared genetic mechanisms across rhinitis-related traits

Persistent activation of interlinked type 2 airway epithelial gene networks in sputum-derived cells from aeroallergen-sensitized symptomatic asthmatics

Our findings provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms operative at baseline in the airway mucosa in atopic asthmatic with natural aeroallergen exposure

Multiancestry association study identifies new asthma risk loci that colocalize with immune-cell enhancer marks

We identified new asthma loci, found new associations at loci implicated in the comorbidity of asthma plus hay fever and confirmed nine known loci.

After asthma: Redefining airways diseases

Identify entrenched areas of asthma management and treatment in which progress has stalled and to challenge current principles

Streptococcus pneumoniae colonization of the nasopharynx is associated with increased severity during respiratory syncytial virus infection in young children

The present study aimed to clarify the effect of viral and bacterial co-detections on disease severity during paediatric acute respiratory infection (ARI).

Epigenome-wide analysis links SMAD3 methylation at birth to asthma in children of asthmatic mothers

We sought to assess whether the trajectory to asthma begins already at birth and whether epigenetic mechanisms, contribute to asthma inception.

Vitamin D deficiency linked to childhood asthma

Researchers at The Kids Research Institute Australia have found children with vitamin D deficiency are more likely to develop asthma.

A genomics-based approach to assessment of vaccine safety and immunogenicity in children

This methodology has significant potential to identify covert interactions between inflammatory pathways triggered by vaccination, and as such may be a...

Hospitalisation for bronchiolitis in infants is more common after elective caesarean delivery

The authors previously reported an increased risk of hospitalisation for acute lower respiratory infection up to age 2 years in children delivered by...
