Research

Identifying pediatric lung disease: A comparison of forced oscillation technique outcomes

These findings suggest the utility of specific FOT outcomes is dependent on the respiratory disease being assessed

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

Basophil counts in PBMC populations during childhood acute wheeze/asthma are associated with future exacerbations

Our findings suggest that the proportion of degranulated basophils can also be associated with recurrent exacerbations

Research

Insights into respiratory disease through bioinformatics

Here, we review the basic concepts in bioinformatics and genomic data analysis and illustrate the application of these tools to further our understanding of lung diseases

Research

Prevention of Allergy/Asthma - New Strategies

This review focuses on the scientific rationale for early intervention aimed at asthma prophylaxis and discusses therapeutic approaches

Research

Identification of epithelial phospholipase A2 receptor 1 as a potential target in asthma

PLA2R1 is increased in the airway epithelium in asthma, and serves as a regulator of airway hyperresponsiveness, airway permeability, antigen sensitization, and airway inflammation

Research

Differential gene network analysis for the identification of asthma-associated therapeutic targets in allergen-specific T-helper memory responses

Differential network analysis of allergen-induced CD4 T cell responses can unmask covert disease-associated genes and pin point novel therapeutic targets

Research

The genetic and epigenetic landscapes of the epithelium in asthma

Genetic factors in airway epithelial cells that are functionally associated with asthma pathogenesis

Research

Accumulation mode particles and LPS exposure induce TLR-4 dependent and independent inflammatory responses in the lung

We aimed to delineate the effects of LPS and AMP on airway inflammation, and potential contribution to airway disease by measuring airway inflammatory responses
